My first love to mural started with the one in Oldenburg, a small town in Germany. 
The painting is on a lonely house, behind the local train station, on the way to the student WG I used to live. Even years later the feeling i had on it remains vivid.
It was a nice surprise to find out that our backyard — Philadelphia has over 3000 murals in its urban area, which gain a reputation for the city as the mural capital of the world. A mural tour in downtown on a hot summer morning might not be for everyone. But as same as any nature scene, a city could be sharming even when the sunshine is burning and the breeze is steamed. A self-guided mural tour leads you not only to treasure-hunt the city’s murals but also to discover the city’s insight: a deserted corner around the skyscrapers; a popular sandwich bar on a eclectic commercial street; white marble steps in front of tree shadowed brick houses…
