Mural on a main street in Beaverton, Ontario
By now frequent visitors to this blog must be getting the idea trains are/were important to Canadians. Yep, you got that right.
On side of vintage building
This mural is placed on the side of an old building that now houses a pharmacy but I don't know if Ben commissioned this work or if the town did.

I had to squeeze in behind the tall spruce to get this shot.
I am joining Monday Mural HERE

What's not to like about trains; I admire your dedication... squeezing between needle trees like that.
ReplyDeleteGreat train murals. Very well drawn. Can imagine the olden days town coming back to life.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days our paths will cross. I was there in Beaverton on Jan. 8 photographing the same mural.
ReplyDeleteOur minds were thinking Beaverton today. My post for today was taken a few clicks south of there.
I like it very much. Beautiful mural!
ReplyDeleteHello, what a beautiful train mural. Wonderful collection of photos. Happy Monday, have a great new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteOh me too, love this mural EG, your first shot is so cool, who doesn't love the old steam trains!
ReplyDeleteSuperb capture and you got the details so well! Here too, trains are the second mode of travel people prefers the most next to buses/cars.
ReplyDeletethis mural is one of the best i have seen, it looks like the train is going to ride right out of the wall and into my room.. so 3d, super talent that painted this one
ReplyDeleteI like murals and I like trains so this rings all the bells for me.
ReplyDeleteYou have some amazing murals in your area. Love them.
ReplyDeleteThis is one very fine mural. I wish we could say the same thing about trains as you do, but it was decided here that it was more important for car and bus manufacturers to make money than for our people to have efficient and cheap means of transportation.
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is sooo good. Looks like the train is going to drive right out of the wall!
Love this: full of things and full of life!
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective and energy.
ReplyDeleteThe engine especially has a very three dimensional feel to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat mural!!! I am a train lover and if I have the time that's the only way I would travel!! Thank you, as always, for sharing your superb captures!! Hope you have a great new week!! Enjoy!!

ReplyDeleteTrains are fun, aren't they?! Hubby loves them. We have a senior's home being built right beside train tracks. Crazy! I'm posting about it later.

ReplyDeleteit's so amazing what you share!

Hi EG. Re your comment on Ocala: False advertising seems to be the name of the game these days. Anything goes to sell a product!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a fantastic piece or work...
ReplyDeleteIt is a great mural! So much detail.
ReplyDeleteYou really convey a feeling that I think of as "Canadian" as does William from Ottawa Daily Photo, and dear Jenn near Perth Ontario. It's a complement.
ReplyDeleteOh! Mustn't forget dear Pat from Toronto!!
This is just simply amazing! One of the best. That train just looks so real!
ReplyDeleteTrains are such an important part of North American heritage. They're almost forgotten in parts of the U.S.
ReplyDeleteYour engine looks like it's roaring toward us. Wonderful energy and perspective. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteevery time I see something like this I wish I could paint. I admire the artists who can. :)
