Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons
This mural is said to be the largest outdoor historical mural in North America. Well, you do have to admit that 250-feet by 80-feet is BIG! The settlement depicted here is what the French Jesuit settlement would have looked like in the 1640s, the first European settlement in Ontario.

You just have to admire the concept here and how beautifully it has been carried out. Really spectacular!

I always wonder how the artist(s) could keep up scale with those gigantic dimensions. But a nice mural it is.
