St. Petersburg, Florida: Big Red Shark Eats You
Painted in late 2015, a giant shark mural is on a blood-red outside wall, angled downward so that people who stand in front of it are inside its toothy gaping jaws. More fun than most murals.

The shark is cool! Couple things - there are a ton of cool murals in that area! A sharp, attentive eye is needed to locate the shark. Other thing is that there's a parking lot right in front of the shark mural, so there were trucks there that kinda ruined the intended photos we wanted to get. Go early!
