A Piece of History

Uploaded: June 13, 2007

Description

f22.0, ISO 100, 1/500, Salisbury, NC, Historic Wall Mural.

This is a composite of 2 images. I did a LOT of work to try & restore the colors & the texture of the image! I tried to make it look like it might have when it was first painted.

The Mural was painted to depict the turn of the century in the 1900's in Salisbury, NC. I wasn't able to find out much information about it other than it's close to 100 years old & is part of the historic trolley tour of downtown Salisbury. It's on the side of an older building that is now abandoned. The dimensions are 48'H x 127'W.
