Little girl, why do you have grenade in your hand?



I thought this was a powerful one and coincidentally, so did someone else as I was taking the shot. I ended up having a good conversation with this man about the meaning of the one. We talked of innocence, puppeteer-ing, war and greed in a good 10 minute conversation. I've been trying to get a shot of this one for a while and finally got it. Rain had been getting in the way.

This is another fantastic mural I found on my walk along Georgia Ave. The scale, use of color and juxaposition of figures I thought were done well. I particulary like the way the figure in the middle with that hat on was painted.
