The Wave on Monday Mural


Chillicothe, Missouri


I guess when you live in the center of the country the ocean surf holds a special fascination. Also, you may tend to exaggerate breaking waves from watching too many Hawaii Five-O episodes.

I don't recall why I took this photo on such an angle but I suppose I was trying to eliminate the annoying car or two that might have been in the way.  Pretty cool mural anyway you look at it.  I like the air conditioner relaxing on the beach.

certainly freshens up the side of an old building

I think murals like this are great - and I liked the Hawaii Five-O line!

This is a great house - but it's a teenager compared to the one I was born in. As far as we can tell it was built in the very early 1800's - possibly even earlier. I have yet to find a map of the village I'm from that it is not on!

Lucky that its a surf world and not a tsunami one. I must admit that the waves are good painted and that it makes an otherwise dull wall interesting.

A huge wave, somebody did a great job. The airco on the beach is funny, ha,ha.

LOL! at the airconditioner on the beach.

I'd like to see a wave this big once in my lifetime. I wouldn't want to be caught in one, though.

Love your evaluation of this dramatic wave mural! :-)

First thing I noticed was the air conditioner...too bad they couldn't have incorporated it in and camoflaged it somehow. Must raise a few eyebrows in Missouri!

Looks like it's an ad for a radio station. Very cool.

I like it! Surf's up!

A pretty cool mural photographed at a great angle.

Cool shot... and I was thinking how funny that the air conditioner looks like it's about to be pounded by the surf!

Excellent mural.

Certainly makes me want to be on a beach somewhere.

Your commentary is as entertaining as the image. Maybe someone can come along and paint a palapa on the a/c unit. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

I guess it's a radio station? Interesting.

I like seeing these murals! Somebody has the creative urge and gussies the place up a bit! And this one is good advertising, too!
I agree about the A/C on the beach!!
