Monday Murals: Take Your Pick


It's time once again to join Sami at Sami's Colourful World and her Monday Murals.  Even though it's still Sunday in my world, please be aware that Sami's mural link goes live at 11:01 a.m. my time today.   

This mural is called Take Your Pick.

No matter where I stood, I couldn't get rid of the shadows that were from the electric and telephone lines.

You can see it's one of the 108 Avenue Art Days murals.  This mural was created by Hannah Scott in 2016.  It is located at 3207 East Douglas 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.

I love all the variety of choices and the bright colors. Clever idea. :)

..."Take Your Pick" is fabulous. Normally I don't like shadow on my subject, but in this case the pole, wire and shadows work well. I hope that you have a great week planned.

I really find people are so creative!

Photographing murals can really be a challenge! That one is very neat looking, even with the deep shadows. There’s one street artist here who purposely creates street paintings that take on new meaning when the light falls at a certain angle at a particular time of day. Sort of like Stonehenge only ordinary.

Now that is a great craft supply mural.Or maybe kitchen supply with the whisk.And I like the shadow of the telephone pole too. That is also very interesting. And you answer my comment question, and I want to say, I don't share mine because most of mine says things like I vacuumed. I went grocery shopping. I napped on the hammock. Smile. I think that's why I keyed into yours. Have a super Sunday. hugs-Erika

Fun tools of the trade or hobbies

Cloudia said...

Good choice Elizabeth and bluebeard. Which tool shall I use today?

Iris Flavia said...

Great one, oh, what to pick? Too many options, too little time.
I can honestly say I used them all - can you guess which one I used to bake? I´ll show on T-Day ;-)
Sad with the shadow, why did the artist use this wall I wonder?
Did she want the shadow as art-element?

Sami said...

Very unusual mural subject. The photos look interesting with the pole shadows.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Elizabeth.

It's better to be shy with these tools than to be shy about them. Nice mural.

A very cool mural, Elizabeth! Shadows can be so frustrating!
