More Chemainus Murals

Looking at these photos, it is hard to believe that they are all outside walls of buildings. Note the cleverly disguised air vent in the wall just above the driver's head. I should have put a real person in the photo to show perspective. They were much larger than life size.
This may be a representation of the natives of Vancouver Island seeing the tall sailing ships for the first time. There was a Tall Ships Festival in the area this week.

Just up the road from Chemainus is the town of Duncan whose many charms include the world's largest hockey stick, a leftover from Expo '86. Perhaps this mural is a tribute to that landmark.
