This stylized mural on the Nelson Credit Union, Nelson, B.C.,  highlights some of the town's  attractions and industries, including the mining, the arts (pottery), mountains, and an all-round great natural setting (note the ducks in the blue ornithologist's specs).

Welcome to Christina Lake

This mural welcomes visitors to the B.C. town, Christina Lake, in the Kootenay region of the province.

Ancient whales

I don't know the age of this Victoria, B.C. mural, featuring killer whales --  but it's not new!

Comfort food

Mural on the Burgoo Bistro - Main Street (Vancouver) location

Valentine-like

From coy to coquette with, along the way, a little desperation, these four murals from Vernon B.C. have that Valentine quality.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

smooth and sweet

Mural on the wall of the Washington Avenue Grill - White Rock B.C.

Street Soccer

"Street Soccer 2009" 

Another Commercial Drive mural, the unnamed artist hangs out at tobinism.com.

Scarecrow on the Drive

Here we are, back on Commercial Drive, Vancouver. This delightful scarecrow guarding pumpkin and a squash looks like it has come right out of a kid's storybook.

"Torch" eagle

Another eagle from the Eagles in the City project (Vancouver area), "Torch" was painted by Marty Collins.

I photographed it when it was on display at Cascades Casino in Langley, B.C. These eagles have since been auctioned, with the money collected going to Easter Seal Services to children with disabilities.

In progress

This Victoria, BC mural was in progress when I photographed it last summer. It's an interesting blend of woodland scene and faux facade.

The Overlanders Sculpture - Kamloops B.C.

The beautiful bronze sculpture, "The Overlanders of 1862," was created in 2003 by Kamloops artists Garry Davies and Terry Norlander. The story of the piece is on the plaque below. I enjoyed photographing it from various angles.
