Surprise park and mural

This used to be a dirt lot surrounded by a construction fence where I had photographed several murals on a building at left (not visible in this shot). We happened to drive by it last year and much to our surprise, it had been converted into a community park, decorated with a large mural by Red Swan, two women from Baltimore whose work I have always admired.

Love that colourful mural, and am very impressed that a park was created out of dirt lot. What a grand idea this is, I hope it is permanent. V

Photographed from a nice point of view with nice detail.
