Wonderful capture, Ina. The architecture really is suited to being a billboard. It really adds something to that cereal-box shape.

I think your car may have been stopped, but the image is great.
I cannot imagine being up there on scaffolding to do the painting!

Very good capture, Ina! I like this idea of painting buildings! I've seen in photos some very good such art in Quebec, Canada!What a difference when compared to graffitti (which I'm not particularly fond of).

Not only is it an excellent angle and clear, but it also makes me suddenly thirsty....

Excellent capture and very interesting find. I like the angle of the building. Amazing to reproduce an image on a building at this scale.

@Photographs by M.E.: Nope, my husband did... and I leaned out the window and for this one I was actually sticking my head out the sunroof!

This is quite a mural, it makes you want to pull a beer out of the fridge. Nice capture!

Cool shot! Quite amazing, but these people behind the canvas won't get too much light.
