Oldie but goodie

A very old mural that’s been there forever. I had seen pictures of it but had never really noticed it until the day this was taken. We just stumbled across it on the way home.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max
1/1300s f/1.6 at 5.1mm iso32 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

A beautiful work and impeccably photographed as always.

The sky colour matches the mural sky, which really makes the illusion work.

Old but still a nice Mural of the capital Dome the artist saw his vision in a different way and it is very nice.
Nice perspective on the composition and resolution beautiful.

An amazing capture of this mural designed to fool the eye as a visual three dimensional illusion. Trompe l'ceil at it's best. The clarity of your capture is excellent. Thanks for sharing. V+

excellent trompe l'oeil art work...one has to stop and scan the scene to recognize what it really is..
