Gateway Garage
Here's a little bit of the old and new of the city side by side. Straight ahead we have the entrance to the Gateway Garage, with parking facilities readily available to the right and left. Covering quite a wide stretch of the wall to the right is a large mural of a scene from yesteryear of Casco Bay with schooners dotting all around. I'm not a big mural guy, so I hope your not waiting for me to get too excited about it. It's rather bland anyway, with grays being the predominant tones. Let's keep it upbeat. Now, if you're headed for an 'island excursion' this summer and the Casco Bay Lines Terminal facility, next to all the ferries, is full at 10 AM, the Gateway would a secure backup plan.
Well, at least I can dream of an island getaway this frozen morning.
Dreaming is good!
I thought those were piles of snow on an upper deck. Only after reading your explanation did I "see" the schooners. :-)
ReplyDeletei think that the mural definitely is worth photographing; it's far more appealing that a garage ramp. An Island getaway sounds terrific right now!
ReplyDeleteYou mean it's not a tropical paradise on that island right now?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely grey mural. I had to enlarge the photo to see that what I thought were heaps of snow were in fact clouds ...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought that was snow in the upper right, too. What else could it be? Summer will come and you can go on an island excursion then. But you could do it now if you'd haul your sorry ... down to Florida. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the juxtaposition.
ReplyDeleteWe have underground parkings, not overground ones.
They need to have some blue sky and blue water in that mural!
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I agree with Ciel about the juxapostion.
ReplyDeleteWe would need more of these: parking is a nightmare here!
