Columbia, South Carolina: Tunnelvision

Deceptively realistic highway tunnel entrance painted on the side of a building in 1975.

I believe it is being repainted as equipment was in front of it and it looks like portions of it started to be touched up. It was still interesting and I could see the good perspective that was done in the painting.

This mural was amazing. It is located right behind the World's Largest Fire Hydrant, which doubled my excitement. It was so beautiful from a distance. There is a sunset in the mural, and the sun actually GLOWED. We visited it at night, so the sun was really shining. I have heard rumors that birds actually fly into the mural often, and I can believe it. It is very realistic looking.

The tunnel mural on the wall of the Federal Land Bank Building is very realistic. The bullet holes in the Yield sign and the rusty boltheads in the Yield sign and the One Way sign are nice touches.

A photo realist mural painted by artist Blue Sky on the wall of the Federal Land Bank Building. It is really neat to see and it is lit up at night. TOO BAD this is not a cartoon scene, because you can't drive through the tunnel! BEEP BEEP!
