Midweek Blues: Train Mural

Hubs and I recently took a Saturday drive and crossed the Ohio River into nearby Marietta, Ohio. We had hoped to see some speedboat races but apparently we arrived too late. Driving around the city I spotted this train mural. I thought the train appearing as if it were coming out of the blue was perfect for Midweek Blues.

Thanks for sharing.

Carletta, that is sooo neat! The out-of-the-blue surprise, the train mural... (if you like murals, I posted a beauty not too long ago, too.)

What a happy capture - it certainly does appear to be coming out of the blue.

Neat mural. Great shot.

That's a compelling perspective. I like the simplicity of it, that it is just a train coming out of the blue, with barely anything at its sides.

It really looks like coming out.

I am impressed with your header. I hope there's a place like that back home where I could run :)

I had to look again to make sure it wasn't real... loved your description of it as coming out of the blue - that's it exactly!

That is the best mural I've ever seen on a building. It looks like the train is coming right out of the wall.
My sister just moved to Marietta Ohio to live with her daughter. My niece's husband is a pastor there.

I have a mural of a train to post sometime soon, but it doesn't hold a candle to this one! Someone did an amazing job!

I must say that is a talented artist you painted that, love the colours also. You truly do feel as though it is coming towards you.
