Dragons asiatiques

Another example of the vast quantity and diversity of mural art found in Montreal these days. This photo was snapped back in January 2020 … which feels like a lifetime ago.

These are ribs of wood serving as decoration outside a commercial building in Calgary’s Inglewood neighbourhood. Their uneven, wavy edges create a neat visual effect if you look at this façade while passing by quickly in a car or bus.
