    It would be fun to travel and just to see murals.

    The rich were sure rich back then - as they are now I guess.

    That is quite a work of art ... it's a wonder how these mythologies produced so much beautiful artistry.

    It took me a while to find the head on the platter. Most artists would place it in the center of the canvas. Fascinating scene. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

    Pretty amazing stuff... By the way, the picture was from last August--- no snow runoff to speak of.
