Hi friends,
On today's Graffiti & Mural Series, I am sharing you this humangous mural that is (also) a major tourist attraction of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.
If you remember my posting of this beautiful mural called Fresque du Petit Champlain, well this is another masterpiece, as beautiful, yet bigger, and it's called Fresque des Quebecois.
Do you see how HUGE this mural is? Ginormous! I may or may not laid on the ground to take some of the pictures am posting today 😂
Those characters you see on this mural? They are historical figures, artists, and leading writers of Quebec and/or Canada.
