Monday Photopost: Quebec City Wall Mural

Stacy Cashman has some great pictures of wall murals in Quebec City at her Rambling Traveler blog. Go there to learn more about the murals and see the uncropped and larger version of the picture below and two others.

I love the detail with the birds and the balloon having shadows. I also wonder what it’s like in these buildings with no real windows facing out.

Stacy makes all of her work available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, so I can heartily recommend her as a fine purveyor of free culture.

Of course, the nature of things today suggests that somebody might claim the art on the building is copyrighted and thus pictures of it are not free. I say, no way! If you put your art out in public view, you’ve given up your ability to control who sees it and what they might do with pictures of it. (Unfortunately, I don’t make the laws, so YMMV.)

Her pictures made me think of the sidewalk chalk guy, Julian Beever. If you’re not familiar with his work, check out these photos of his eye-popping 3D pavement art. You’ll thank me later.
