Hearts and trashcans

We found this mural in an alley on Capitol Hill. I can’t imagine why they bricked up all the windows in the building (five in this picture alone), but at least they have some nice decoration on the wall.

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

Maybe to keep someone or something in or out. I always wondered why some windows are bricked up. The mural really brightens the old building. V

It looks as if only fragrant odors are coming from those cans.

A nice mural to off set the look of the trash bins.

I hate to see the old brick buildings painted on, but they put a lot of work into it and did a nice job. Great capture, Helen. V

Interesting how they even painted the posts! Yes, odd about the window being bricked up. V
