Seadrift Mural

Seadrift, Texas

Seqdrift is a tiny Texas town on the Gulf of Mexico. Mostly inhabited by fishermen and shrimpers.
The old Main Street is mostly abandoned. This mural caught my eye.
Interesting that it was a cowboy with horse tending beef cattle on a hilly green field - but it's located in a fishing town, on a flat sandy and not so green coast.
Maybe the artist was homesick for somewhere... Greener Pastures as the saying goes.

An interesting faded mural and yes, the image it portrays is odd given where it is located, which makes it all the more interesting. V

I think it's cool that the artist didn't bend to the local environment, but rather did his/her own thing.

An interesting find. Looks like it's wearing away. V

I’m glad you captured it to preserve it before it fades forever. V

Superb find, Lynn. It must've been a very nice mural when new. V.

I agree with you that maybe the artist was homesick. Interesting how it's on a "land and reality" building.

perhaps the cattle are there to remind that this is Texas despite the pong of seafood in the air...good you caught the mural before it faded any further.

A cowboy mural does seem odd in a Gulf fishing town! Well spotted and captured. V.

That is unusual, what a cool, unexpected find.
