Wish they had more info on each one. I recognize this one since I drive past it at least once a week on Penn Ave in Pittsburgh.

Fan-tas-tic. This is why I love artists. They literally tranform our world.

YAY ARTISTS!

I love the photos, but I'd be a lot more impressed if he credited his sources. There are lots of cool photos there that were taken by other people. Rather than giving them credit, he only links to more info for those that he took. That's so wrong, on so many levels ...

These are beautiful, and they make me miss a lot of the cool murals we used to have in Atlanta in the 1970s and 80s. Not sure why these kind of large-scale pieces aren't done here anymore.

The lack of attribution and info IS annoying. Call it the Tumblr effect.

The whale wall is by Wyland, and is painted on the north wall of the Redpath Sugar building by the lake in Toronto.

These are so amazing!

We have a Wyland Whaling Wall here in Anchorage that's beautiful.
