I was drawn to this mural because of the two trees flanking the couple at a park bench. The trees echo the real tree just in front of them, which in turn links us to the street itself and its traffic flow. The red truck entered my frame and stopped for a light. I noticed the expressions on the people in the truck – illuminated in the rich evening light, each person look straight ahead and seem to be lost in their own thoughts. The couple in the mural have the same intensity – neither look at each other, only straight ahead. Yet the couple in the mural and the couple in the car are a century apart in dress, time, and coloration, offering a strong contrast between then and now.
