Monday Mural: the making of a mural #citydailyphoto


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.

  2. MetroLink'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.

    Nice photos BTW, I'll have a wander into Altrincham on Saturday morning for a look-see.

  11. It'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.
