Ventilation shaft gets a new life

This new mural is painted on a ventilation shaft for the I 395 highway tunnel beneath it. I had previously photographed a mural on the other side of it (below picture), which has long been on a strange looking structure that we always passed by but never knew what it was, until I finally researched it before posting this picture.

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

The other side of the ventilation shaft:

A beautiful mural to nicely cover what probably used to mostly concrete-gray.

Great POV to capture it. It seems to send a powerful message especially with the graduation hat. V

How interesting! It is great that beautiful murals such as this are used to enliven otherwise dour Structures. Beautifully shot. V

What an incredible work of art. Having the car in the photo really gives a sense of the scale.
