Murals in Twenty-Nine Palms, California

Desert lizard by C. Caplinger. Twenty-Nine Palms has 27,000 people and a vast number of murals!
Last week when I was visiting there, I posted images of several historical murals in the town: See This Post.

On the same building: a roadrunner that captured the lizard!

This entire building is one huge mural.


Another side of the building.

    Murals really do enhance the landscape and enliven dull urban settings, and I am not quite sure why we don't have more in Canada.

    These are wonderful! I especially like the lizard and the name of the shop in the last photo.

    I bet 29 Palms has more murals than we have in Wichita. I loved them all. The one outside the realty office was colorful. I laughed at the name of the "nearly new" sign.

    I had a horrible time uploading my mural today. Took over 30 minutes to load it.

    This is a very stimulating series of images in its diversity. I particularly like the third one from the top

    These murals are beautifully striking -- it's interesting to me how they illustrate the history/ethos of the area while making for eye-catching landmarks. Lovely!

    Love the variety of murals. I was quite tickled by the duo of murals in which the roadrunner catches the lizard! Joining you from Monday Murals - my blog is at the following link:https://tentoesinthewater.blogspot.com/2023/03/march-melange.html
