I found this gem on the side wall of a pub in Saltash, Cornwall. It is 40x30 foot, and in the photo you will see a man in a green jacket, he is I K Brunel, the man who made the railway bridge in 1859 that spans across the River Tamar from Devon to Cornwall, I will post some photos of the bridge at a later date, but for now, I realy hope you like this post....

You really picked up the bright colors of the mural. I always liked mural art. Maybe because of it's size and the story's they usually tell, but this one is very fine. I think I recognize a few people there. lol

What an interesting piece for a desktop. I sat here and stared at it for a long time!

I agree with PJ. This is a great desktop. Very interesting to look at for an extended period of time.

I just hate dirty cutlery !! A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.
