Huge Street Mural by Delia King - "Our Heritage by the Waterway"​steemCreated with Sketch.

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Yesterday afternoon, I saw this beautiful and expansive mural that was painted on the side of some dilapidated factory buildings along Arch Street in Royersford, Pennsylvania.

I just had to stop and capture some images of it.

A placard documented that the main artist was Delia King (DSK) and who was (at the time, and maybe still) a member of the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.

This mural is entitled "Our Heritage by the Waterway"​ and was completed sometime in 2009.

I was unable to get an all-encompassing photo to show you just how big this mural is - it's on the order of 100 yards in length.

Wow. What an impressive mural @cognoscere. And great to see that it hasn't been graffitied over given it was created in 2009.

I love how the artists has incorporated the complete shape of the building. It must have been quite a challenge without flat walls.

My favourite bits are the hotel up near the roof and the trains. 😊

It was hard to take it all in . I had to park the car and get out and walk around to get these photos.

It was hard to take it all in .

I can imagine that @cognoscere.

I wonder if you can find more such murals dotted around Royersford and whether there are many still in tact.

Sounds like it could be a fun way to pass an afternoon . . . mural hunting. 😊
