Monday Mural - Panglao Airport (Philippines)

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...
If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you: just follow the Linky steps below.   
Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow mural bloggers.  Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  
Thanks, Sami. 












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!

      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.

      I was surprised to see such a great mural, and I do prefer them to adverts for sure! Thanks Tom

    Great 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.

    These 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

    A clever thing to do with a very boring walls. There should be more of it. I especially like the airport scene.

    Wow, 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.

      Thanks 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.

    You 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.

      My 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.
