Urban Forest Mural

mural on the corner of Third and Custer Streets
Laramie, WY
October 2018

This large mural invites closer observation. Note the single tree on the far right of the second photo. I can only speculate about the artist's message behind this impressive mural.

  1. It is huge and I can not even guess why there would not be trees on the other side.

  2. I was too curious....so I looked up the Laramie Mural Project, called the number to hear what the artist had to say. Dan Toro, the artist, said it was all about community, that humans were designed to be in a community, and the further away you get, the less growth you'll have, as seen in the roots.

    Beautiful!

  5. That's beautiful and begs the viewer to wonder why those trees on the right are leaning. In the wind maybe?

  7. You've found another interesting mural. The artist statement is interesting — we are social communities even if we are friends through only the Internet. But I can’t help thinking about what humans have been doing to the rest of life on earth. Much food for thought here. Thanks for sharing.

  8. My first thought was that it is easier to grow with others.
