I almost photographed the same thing, Nadine, but then got distracted by boats!

Here’s mine for today

Mural on the rear wall of a building on Mill St NE in Vienna, opposite Vienna’s old railway station on the W&OD just west of Church St. The idea for the mural was the inspiration of Vienna Town Council member Bob McCormick.
Harris Miller designed the mural, and it was painted under his direction by community volunteers. More about the mural: https://www.wodfriends.org/vienna-mural-project/

1/22 Mariela Ajras (Buenos Aires, 1984)
Latin American Female Identity, 2019, behind La Cosecha, Union market 1280 4th St NE, Washington, DC 20002

[ATTACH=CONFIG]29812[/ATTACH]
From https://lacosechadc.com/merchants/mariela-ajras/:
“This mural is a donation of the Inter-American Development Bank to commemorate their 60th Anniversary. The image of a Latin creole/mestizo empowered woman looks towards the future. The woman is duplicated, addressing the idea that she looks from the past and at the same time, constructs her future. Behind her, there is a rising sun created in golden paint which reflects brightly on the wall’s surface. The women’s fabric patterns create an optical illusion and a geometric contemporary feeling. The mural expresses the vibrant spirit of the Latin American aesthetics incorporated with colorful Latin American textile designs.”

This painted iron triptych of characters from Don Quixote used to be in an alley less than a block from my house. Impossible to get a good view of all three at the same time. I probably should have taken the picture from a vantage point to my left giving you a better view of Sancho Panza and leaving Dulcinea to the imagination as did Cervantes.
