Having read the legend behind this mural I am a bit more accepting. Normally I am a bit turned off by images of hero men rescuing damsels in distress. But the universal Romeo-Juliet theme is heart-breaking. :-) Great shot, Carolyn.Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-1691478607278169632012-07-02T07:27:36.971-07:002012-07-02T07:27:36.971-07:00Gorgeous mural, and don't you love commenters,...Gorgeous mural, and don't you love commenters, Thank you Rita and JM for enlightening us, it would have bugged me all day.ArtandArchitecture-SF.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05654249008078030853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-19250680475941273152012-07-02T02:35:06.292-07:002012-07-02T02:35:06.292-07:00I like that fact that you included the framed phot...I like that fact that you included the framed photo along with the mural.

Then I found on Wikipedia that it's linked to Iztaccíhuatl volcano to the north - the names of both lovers.<br /><br />It's a great mural and I like the way you composed the shot.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783877262954668959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-91731684509060478202012-07-02T00:15:06.590-07:002012-07-02T00:15:06.590-07:00Good to see such striking murals indoors as well a...Good to see such striking murals indoors as well as outside.

They have tabletops done in fantastic images under layers of polyurethane. I photographed all of them and this image is one of them. I did some research and found that it represents the romantic and tragic story of Mexico’s Romeo and Juliet – Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl.<br /><br />I found the information at this website: http://phoenixrealestatebloglive.com/arts/an-aztec-romance-3/Kranky Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395118246357066241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-174602369259980172012-07-01T23:06:06.381-07:002012-07-01T23:06:06.381-07:00I have no clue but it is striking.I have no clue but it is striking.cieldequimperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04541298876304462514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-60669136697149644732012-07-01T22:43:55.995-07:002012-07-01T22:43:55.995-07:00It's terrific.It's terrific.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361781616939928650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-47972818656472061112012-07-01T20:46:23.803-07:002012-07-01T20:46:23.803-07:00great mural. but also what fantastic tiles. i lov...great mural. but also what fantastic tiles. i love tiles.<br /><br />http://ewok1993.wordpress.comPhoto Cachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734663922538063553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-37500719438319427912012-07-01T20:39:14.089-07:002012-07-01T20:39:14.089-07:00Great mural and perfect for where it has been pain...Great mural and perfect for where it has been painted.
