Monday Mural


Lucas, Kansas

This has to be one of the most colorful murals I have come across in my travels.  It is a shame the sunlight was not on the wall but it is still striking nonetheless.


Again, notice how the outline of Kansas makes its way into the mural.


Here you can see how Post Rock is quarried. (below the train and 3 people)
Then used as fence posts to the right of the quarry.


And so you can read the sign better.


For more Monday Murals go to Oakland Daily Photo.

It is nearly unbelievable that they used nature stone for fences but it was at hand and the skill was imported from europe so why not.Great and colorful mural. I like it.

Gorgeous mural, the colors are unbelievable. It would be fun to explore the Czechoslavakian history in that area.

I think the colours are richer for not having the sun directly on this amazing mural.
