The Bridge of the Gods
Cloned from a Mural found under the a steel truss cantilever bridge spanning the Columbia River at the borders of Oregon and Washington state. The steel bridge known as "The Bridge of the Gods" derives its name from a natural stone bridge which once existed here. As per Native American legend the Great Spirit had built a bridge of stone on the River. Scientists say that the original stone bridge, which was called "The Bridge of the Gods" by the Natives, was created about 1000 years ago due to geological upheaval in the area. With passage of time the stone bridge eroded away and the steel bridge was ultimately built over the River.

Fruit Harvesting
Cloned from the Google Street View of the mural at SW Flager Avenue, Stuart, Florida. The original entitled "Welcome to Stuart" was painted by Maureen Fulgenzi. Full beauty of the her work can be relished in a photograph of the mural in the Bio page of her web site under the Mural section.
Daisy On The Wall
Brazil is full of graffiti art and many schools have boundary walls with murals of cartoon characters or other children related objects. I saw Daisy and her friends and other Disney characters on a wall outside a school and decided to tart up her sketch and also changed the texture of the wall to bring her in greater focus.
Let There Be No Hungry Child
Found this poignant graffiti in Sao Paulo which reads "Tem muita criança com fome na rua"; translated in English it says "It has a lot of hungry children in the street".
With the recent landing of multi-billion dollar Curiosity on the Mars, I am reminded of the famous words of astronaut Buzz Aldrin - "If we can conquer space, we can conquer childhood hunger." Alas this has not come true. I dedicate this to all the hungry children around the World.

Incomplete Picture
While roaming the streets of Vancouver found this huge mural in its early stages of creation. The mural which was Canada’s Largest Photo Mosaic was created on the side of Molson Coors Brewery in Vancouver and the finished mural contained over 13,000 Canadian faces representing a tribute to the National Team for the 2010 Winter Olympic.
