Then and Now

Dundalk's enterprising Tidy Towns Committee have brightened up a derelict site near the harbour with this mural which shows what it would have looked like in times gone by.
Was working late tonight so will have to catch up with comments tomorrow.

Great composition. Perfect viewpoint. The pedestrian on the sidewalk fit in to the scene nicely.

WOW! I actually thought it was real until I looked closer. V

That's... intriguing. It's hard to tell where art ends and reality starts, and vice versa. I like the angle that you've taken this from.

Very creative idea to make the citizens day and keep traditions. I feel like walking into the scene. V

Very good , I love how the artist has probably tried to match the average sky colour for a year in Dundalk

I did a double take at first and then I read your information about the mural. Well done.
