Monday Mural - Elephant and Himalayas

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.

Thanks Sami 

Two more murals in Berlin's Kreuzberg District - on the corner of  Franz-Klühs-Street and Wilhelm street, adjacent to the Theodor-Wolff-Park, near the two murals I showed last week, and within walking distance to Hallesches Tor underground station.

Painted in 2016 by German artist Jadore Tong AKA S.Y.R.U.S.(Save Your Rich Untouchable Soul) who is based in Berlin.

While you play basketball you can admire the vibrantly painted elephant who's holding a balloon of the world. At the bottom of the mural are the words "Peace, Unity, Love and Wisdom". The artist took 4 weeks to complete the mural with some help from local artists.







Around the corner at the front of the building the mural Himalayas was also painted by the same artist.

  2. The elephant is clearly a beauty and feels quite Indian to me. It is stunning. I was also impressed by how the artist used the building to his advantage to paint both these stunning murals.

  13. It's a great way to enliven the dull facade of a building and to unite with another culture at the same time. Let's have more of this.

  17. I have tried for two days to leave a comment to Pictografio. I refresh, start again, and still get a "failed to publish" message. I've tried at least a dozen times, both day and night to no avail. I hope others have better luck than I.
