Murals!

I'm an international student. Hamilton is the very first city here in Canada that I got to know (and I'm still getting to know). There are many things in a new country that would immediately catch a newcomer's interest, such as the seasons, for example, but for me, one of the first things I could not take my eyes away from were the murals downtown. The first one I ever saw was the one with the tiger, the girl, the golden statue of a boy, and a bee (or a wasp?) and it was just so skillfully painted, even at such a grand scale. I still have a picture of it taken from last year:

The second one that's of significance to me was the mural of the Philippines close to the Main at Kenilworth bus stop. I mention the bus stop specifically because when I was still getting used to my regular bus routes, that was one of the first milestones I ever got used to.

There's a lot of other murals downtown, and the third one I'd mention is the mural of a woman handling cells with a microscope. I'm unsure if it's intentional but it reminded me of Henrietta Lacks and her cells that are still being kept alive.

I'm just one guy, but these murals really stuck to my mind. I would love to think there are more murals for me to discover and admire :)
