I hope everyone who is visiting from the states is having a great holiday weekend. Right now, it's time to join Sami at Sami's Colourful World and her Monday Murals. Please be aware that Sami's mural link goes live at 11:01 a.m. my time.
If you visited last week, you saw the Immigration is beautiful mural. This mural I'm sharing today was created during the repair of the mural I showed last week. It sits on the back side of the building where the other mural was painted.
I was having trouble getting close enough because I didn't want to walk past the men who were busy working. 
Although I explained I wouldn't get their faces in the photo, they even posed for me and asked that I take their photos.
Somehow, I didn't feel right walking past them. I have no idea why, but something made me feel uncomfortable, perhaps the fact that neither of them was wearing a mask. Perhaps I will return one of these days to photograph this one again when no one is around.As noted last week, this mural was created by a group of Wichita, Kansas (USA) high school students known as the Latin Leaders (LL) under the guidance of Armando Minjarez. This mural sits at the back of a building at 21st Street and Park Place in Wichita, Kansas (USA).
If you enjoy murals from around the world, please don't forget to visit Monday Murals at Sami's Colourful World.
Elizabeth's internet is down. She wanted me to let everyone know that she will be back with you as soon as her internet service provider issues are resolved.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great mural. You're wise to keep your distance from un - masked people. Take care Elizabeth! Hope your eye is better. I have my eye OP on Wednesday this week. Valerie
ReplyDeleteMask requirements differ so much from place to place, don't they! I understand you not wanting to get too close. I see from the comment that your internet is down. I hope that doesn't last long.
ReplyDeleteInteresting mural -- so much going on there that it's hard to see what it's doing. You do well when you distance from other people even when they ARE masked.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the internet connection!
be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I wouldn't have passed them either. None of the outside workers wear masks, oh hell what I am saying hardly ANYONE here wears a mask. It became law July 1 to have a face covering in any building. Well it has been a fight and none of the tourist wear masks. No one enforce it. So this mural is amazing. So glad to see that high school kids created it.
ReplyDeleteAnother cool mural. I hope you get back soon when people aren't there and you can walk by the whole mural more comfortably. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI'm leery of anyone without a mask, too.
ReplyDeleteInteresting mural, though. :)
I hope you get that darned internet fixed again! :(
That's a terrific mural for this time of year, Elizabeth. Nice find! And yes, with the masks.
ReplyDeleteI understand. I´m too shy always to ask for people´s faces, to show them.
ReplyDeleteAnd especially here in Germany, uh-oh... they could fine you. And even if they would not, it´s a sign of respect, is it.
Elizabeth you are absolutely right to keep distance!!! I'm not sure about the meaning of this painting
ReplyDeleteA kind of gritty nitty one.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to see the artist in working.
ReplyDeleteMore super photos of the mural and good that you saw the men painting the wall. I would have kept the distance as well, masks are not worn as much in public here as they are in other parts of the world.
ReplyDeleteStay safe.

Nice to catch the artists at work. You'll have to go past it again when there's no one there. I couldn't figure out what the words in the book were.
ReplyDeleteThanks for contributing Elizabeth, glad your friend was able to post for you and hope your internet is back on again soon.
Don't blame you, I avoid people without masks although I wear one.
ReplyDeleteIt becomes law tomorrow to wear masks in indoor spaces.
Thanks for sharing this mural …
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Another amazing mural! xx
ReplyDelete...some guys like to have their picture taken, I'm not one of them! Taking pictures of mural can be hard, that's why they call it work.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to look at in the mural. And I like your pictures of the mural and the people.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah -- keep that distance. Stay safe.
We'd love to see the mural again. :)
