Murals

People think of Americans as car drivers, but it’s not the case in Philadelphia. According to the census, 50% or more of my neighbours walk to work and the figure doesn’t surprise me.

Philly is very easy on the eye for a walker and one of the reasons is the Mural Arts Program. These folks connect bare walls with artists, grass roots organisations, schools, communities and create images that put in a spring in the step of any weary traveller.

To my great delight I found them painting a mural down the street today. Great work guys! Check back in a while to see the results of their labours.
