A View From Below The Cliff

 

The Old Quebec City has 2 sections, the lower part which is at the bottom of the cliff that completes the parts not surrounded by the wall, and the main part which is the upper city. This mural was painted on the side of a building in the lower town and shows a typical street scene looking up the hill towards the top. Those are really steep streets to climb. The whole of old Quebec City is an UNESCO heritage site.

I always love seeing trompe l'oeil murals. They always add so much to the buildings they are painted on. This one looks great.

That mural is beautiful. It looks like you could just walk right through that opening.

I think it is as we saw it 15 years ago. I wonder if they repaint it from time to time.

I remember the reflection photos Grace used to take and how they left me very confused as to what was real and what was a reflection. You have done the same with this, or the artist has.

Really a great mural, RedPat, as "Taken for Granted" said, one could think it´s real!
