One of the many nice mural and graffiti art panels along Central St. in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Please click the image to see a larger version.
Date: Early November 2009.
Location: The back wall of an industrial building along Central Street, Vancouver BC, Canada (between Station Street and Western Street). Google Maps has a nice Street View showing the location and the panels. Central Street is just a 5 minutes walk south from the Main Street Skytrain Station.

Misc. Notes: This is the fifth part of a series of approximately 25 photographs of the mural and graffiti art panels along Central Street in Vancouver I plan on posting here on Graffiti Near Me. From some of the other panels where the artists tagged their own work, it seems these panels went up around 2007. If anyone has information about this particular panel, please share in the comments section of this post. You’ll notice that there are at least three distinct layers in this panel. The back layer is a native inspired design that I don’t know anything about — is it a sun spirit? In the panel it acts like the sun setting/raising over a mountainous skyline (the second layer). If you live on the West Coast of British Columbia, BC, Canada, this is a scene you see on a regular basis (beautiful!). The top most layer is the stylized graffiti lettering which I’m unable to decipher at this time — any suggestions as to what it says?
Technical Notes: The photograph was taken with an Olympus Stylus 300 digital camera (a point-and-click). (Check out cameras and photography equipment on Amazon.com
