Has anybody noticed the way vine plants are creeping into the design of the Beatty Street Mural in Vancouver? It is as if they seem to know exactly where to go and how to perfectly accentuate the look of each individual rendered. An eye-patch to David Suzuki, a goatee for Terry Fox, a bit more hair on top of Mary Lee Chan’s head…and so on. It’s not just working at an individual level, as the weaving in and out and around is further integrating this impressive line up of good and famous people. Let us hope when they do cut it back that they do it selectively.
There is an excellent walk of trees around Vancouver neighbourhoods called http://www.citytreemap.com. The offer 3 different walks that identify all the different street trees of the area with identification tips.
