Love letter

H Street NE mural by Chris Pyrate, who uses cherry blossoms as a way to pay tribute to friends who have died in gun violence here and as a love letter to DC, his hometown.

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

Fantastic! Wouldn't it be something ifthe entire row of homes were painted up in this manner?

Wow, that had to take some time to do. Very sad to see so many cherry blossoms knowing what they signify. V

The days of the Wild West are over. Firearms should be prohibited. Nice capture of that beautiful mural. V

it certainly stands out...that's a touching project in salute to friends gunned down.....there are so many shootings stateside, as if some citizens are at war with everyone else....
