I had to go to Edinburgh this morning.

[runnach]

I popped along to St John's Church, west end of Princes Street Gardens to see if my mural board was still in place, it was, and sending out another poignant pictorial message.

I made that framework at least 30 year ago, good to see it is still standing.

Some other pics i took this morning. Remembrance Day preparations under way.

The real talent are and credit goes to the various artists putting out their message via the mural fabrication.

A couple of others from a while back, note the common denominator, most, if not all painted murals are depicting the Hornets Nest, the Middle East.

Jim, from what I know, painted murals are usually (not all the time) the idea's from someone from that part of the world, not necessary the actual artist. For example, this previous one was highlighting the injustices done to women by the Iranian regime. The detail on one pic explains. The group mentioned within the text are Iranian exiles now based in Scotland,

If this was a Scottish theme, it would show groups of feral's out their face and and heads from consuming drink and drugs.
