Surprising old mural

We were looking for a new mural near some high rise condo in DC but couldn’t find it anywhere, when by chance I caught sight of this very old one. A bit beat up, but I liked the subject matter. I found a picture of it later from when it was first created, and it really looked quite beautiful.

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

It is interesting how the colors of the bird change and the James Brown sign looks covered. Great find. V

Even a bit beaten up it's much better than a plain wall.

The bird gets top billing here! VV~

I like the guy on the left, lurking behind the weeds.
