I like driving down countryside dead end dirt roads. Sometimes I come across a gem like this one painted on a topless silo. It is located on private property not close to the roadway. The best I can make out the artist name is J Tevot. I'm linking to Monday Mural.
I am guessing that when someone goes to this much trouble, there is a personal connection. So very poignant.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what went through my mind when I saw it. The mural must be the result of a personal experience.
DeleteWow! I LOVE the fact that they have used the space for something so personal. It really draws you in. Great find!
ReplyDeleteIt is a special one, didn't know Canada had still troops (overseas)?
ReplyDeleteThey have done a wonderful job! Must be family in the troops. Nice catch Andy!
ReplyDeleteA touching and well executed image on a lonely, country road. Forgive my ignorance, but is a "topless" silo unfinished or a special style? Either way, the mural does what was intended--to catch your eye and your heart. Thank you, Andy, for participating in this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeletenice!
ReplyDeletei think this is not very common in canada, or is it? (as it is in the us? you see this everywhere!)
We have troops (a small number of troops) in both Afghanistan and East Timor, but I will bravely say that this sort of allegiance would never be found in Australia. And yet, I would have thought that socially, Australia and Canada are relatively similar.
ReplyDeleteSeems funny to have a topless silo. Surely the wheat (or whatever) would go mouldy.
In my posting I should have said this is what is left of what used to be a silo. Perhaps it is now used as a vat for brewing beer. One can only hope.
DeleteVery well drawn and painted.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture, Andy. I think that having a member of the family overseas in a battle zone would make one very sensitive to the situation and this one way of expressing concern, love, mindfulness and hope...
