After we sat down in the waiting lounge of the new Bohol-Panglao International Airport, (inaugurated on 27 Nov 2018) waiting for the call to board the tiny Cessna Caravan that would take us to Mactan Island, I turned around and was surprised to find the back wall covered in a fantastic mural depicting the touristic highlights of the area - beautiful nature, the wide eyed tarsier, Chocolate Hills, island hopping tours to see dolphins, the Baclayon Church and Church of our Lady of the Immaculate Conception...

| The murals on the back wall of the waiting lounge at Panglao-Bohol International airport |
On the walls of the lounge next to ours there was another mural, but to get the whole wall the partitions were in the way... This one depicted the new airport, the sea, church, Chocolate hills, resorts, the tarsiers, turtles and the whale sharks.
Beautiful selection. Especially impressive since (as you described in an earlier post) you had trouble getting through all the security and airline challenges in the airport!
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae, that was the next airport (from Mactan to Singapore). Don't know if they had murals there, but rushed all the way to the departure lounge.
DeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThanks William :)
Deletewonderful to see, too often airports walls are covered with advertisements.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see such a great mural, and I do prefer them to adverts for sure! Thanks Tom
DeleteGreat airport murals again. A shame that they still aren't being admired by those nearby, but hopefully they at least set a relaxed, clean and safe atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie, I seemed to be the only one taking photos, hope the others enjoyed the murals too.
DeleteMost beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Sami. ♥
Thanks Sandee, have a wonderful week too.
DeleteWonderful sense of place, Sammi
ReplyDeleteThanks Cloudia :)
DeleteThese airport paintings are so varied and so wonderfully colourful that they are in themselves an invitation to imaginary journeys. Congratulations for these pictures and all the ones you recently posted during your stay in the Philippines
ReplyDeleteThank you Kwarkito, glad you enjoyed the ride along my trip to the Philippines.
DeleteBeautiful indeed! A much as I hate flying at times I wish I had more time at the airports!
ReplyDeleteI think art makes for a more relaxing atmosphere at the airports. Thanks Iris.

A clever thing to do with a very boring walls. There should be more of it. I especially like the airport scene.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew, I agree with you, makes for less boring airport waiting lounges.
DeleteI like it when they decorate public spaces like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks Klara, I like it too :)

DeleteI think I'd like to come to this part of the world just to see the terrific airports! Works of art.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie, the airport was brand new and very nice indeed.
DeleteI have dolphins too!
ReplyDeleteNice one too Jackie, thank you.
DeleteGosh lots to see while waiting for a plane Sami 💛
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, at least I spent a lot of time perusing that mural :)
DeleteThat is a wonderful mural, Sami! Thanks for hosting us!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat :)
DeleteBeautiful murals sure make the airport look very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bill :)
DeleteWow, that airport had some beautiful art. A couple of friends are going out there next week (Philippines) so I'll tell them to keep an eye out for that mural if they are using the same airport.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. This would be the airport at Panglao island. My daughter told me at the Mactan airport there is also lots of art (not sure if murals) but we were in a hurry.
DeleteYou are the luckiest person I know. I can't believe you find all these murals, but these are so appropriate and share both information and incredibly lovely art. Most impressive.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. I hope you're feeling better :)
DeleteMy eyes are already trained, I can spot a mural miles away, lol, but in Perth we have lots of murals being painted all the time, just 2 weekends ago I found 3 the same day.
How wonderful that they have all this artwork in an airport!
ReplyDeleteI also think it's lovely Linda, thank you.
DeleteGorgeous murals!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie :)
DeleteYou photographed the murals beautifully Sami! I love seeing them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lois.
DeleteLovely airport murals Sami.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice tropical and refreshing way for an airport to brighten the waiting area with these murals!
Hugs,
Mariette
Thanks Mariette :)
