the quirky murals of Chemainus, BC

My parents and I made a road trip to see the painted walls of Chemainus, British Columbia, a seaside village not far from their home town of Parksville.

At first glance you’d think this is just another municipal ploy to lure tourists into to buy junky trinkets produced in China.

But there is something compelling about this collection. They are so crude and quaint, that I can’t help liking them.

    I especially like the photo you took of the mural with the live couple in front interacting with the mural by holding hands with the little boy:
