Chicano Park - Restored Mural

This Mural depicting the history of the Chicano Movement was restored lat year.
My photos taken in 2007 were used to document the condition of the murals, and helped in the securing of funds to undertake the restoration.
The photo below was taken in 2007. Both images were not processed at all and are straight out of the camera.
