This mural is a work-in-progress taking place at Altrincham
Interchange- the tram, train and bus station. I imagine it has more to do with the
latest incarnation of one of the station shops and cafe rather than being a
commission by GMPTE ( they struggle enough keeping the trams on time- I have had
to ask for three refunds from them in the past 4 days for their delayed services...).
Anyway, this mural is still being completed. The top left photo was of
the artist at work last Wednesday evening, then I took a photo on Thursday and
Friday evenings, and one this morning. What way do you think the tree is growing?
Will the trunk be another shade of orange, will there be greenery, will there
be fruit or birds on and in the tree? I
don't know either, so watch this space!
Taking part in the Monday Murals meme run from Oakland in lovely California.
good to see a work in progress - btw gmpte is now tfgm
ReplyDeleteMetroLink's reliability has become quite notorious. A couple of years ago it would take 20 minutes to get from Timperley to Manchester. Trainline (who often include it as part of a train journey) now quote 50 minutes. It's quicker to cycle...and provided you survive the journey, more reliable too.
ReplyDeleteNice photos BTW, I'll have a wander into Altrincham on Saturday morning for a look-see.

Great capture, good to see it in progress.
ReplyDeleteNice one. The artists are often invisible. Well done.
ReplyDeleteit's fun to see a work in progress...it looks a little dr. suess-ish!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a first showing of a mural in progress. Will be looking forward to next week's display of its completion.

It's nice seeing the stages of its development!
ReplyDeleteVery nice to see it growing.
ReplyDeleteA mural in the making is even better than a mural!
ReplyDeleteIt's fascinating watching a mural being created. Artists see form so differently than the rest of us. So many steps to the final vision that it boggles the mind. I look forward to seeing the remaining phases of this project. Cool captures. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
