I wanted to start a thread on something a bit different. on another forum, I came across this photo:

Originally, it was part of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore RR, which is now the segment of the present-day Northeast Corridor between Philly and Baltimore. Much to my surprise, it still stands today on the northwest corner of the bridge over Island Avenue in South Philly:

Rail related art - the tram kind.

"Tramtree" - set up in Riga, LV in 1995 and now long gone.
And it was full of people - manikins.

Sculpture "Omnibuss" for the first horse tram line. Made from old rails an other metal.

What a good idea for a thread.

I like this one. Pretty neat. I know that I would not be able to paint that at all.

Pretty cool stuff, folks!


Speaking of murals, Philly is the City of Murals. Here's one in the headhouse to the former Reading Terminal, in the atrium between the present-day Market East Station and the entrance to the convention center.

Unfortunately, I don't have a shot of the whole thing.

Here's an interesting piece of perspective artwork.

How about painting this on your living room floor!
