Here are some shots from a mural painted on the brick side wall of a movie theater in Ashland, Wisconsin, on the shore of Lake Superior. The veterans depicted by the artists Kelly Meredith and Sue Martinsen were all local residents.
I liked the way the mural looked reflected in the windows of the library across the street.

Beautiful mural, touching story, and outstanding reflection. I second Catherine's comment, "a great eye."
Ghosts in broad daylight.
That's really nice to see. I love mural art. We have a lot of murals in my neighborhood, but something like this would never fly. Militarism! Hegemony! Fascism! Instead, we have the hegemony of the Multicultural Zone. If there are any people in the mural, they have to be from a range of ethnicities and ages, and at least one of them has to be in a wheelchair to represent the disabled. It's probably defined by statute.
like catherine said, the reflection effect is great. like one of those bad-metaphor-horror-movies where the forgotten soldiers get fed up with being ignored all day @ the public library and crawl out of their dusty books.
oops. thinking that sounded familiar, i just googled "zombie soldiers" and got the "zombies for kerry" movie.
Excellent story, bless them all, and even better pictures.
Great pictures! Your road trips (whether near or far) are some of the best features on your blog, Ann. Although now, your getting upset over CaPiTaLiZaTiOnS has to be on that list, too. :)

I was wondering about yesterday`s "superior" post.
the picture in the window is really something.
I'ts hard to paint interesting things big. So, bravo on two counts. Three, if you count the photography.
