Vibrant Colors, fascinating stories make Muralfest pop in TD
By Tom Peterson
Day two of the Northwest Mural Fest brought a lot of vivid colors and exciting detail as 15 new murals are transforming the downtown corridor in The Dalles.
Walldogs - artists and skilled sign painters from all over the world were hard at it in the extreme heat on Thursday, Aug. 25, as works of art took shape and beads of sweat rolled. To learn more about the event click here or vist the Northwest Mural site here. Or just enjoy the photos below.
Scott Holland, 41, of Whidby Island puts some splash on Les Dalles on a mural explaining how The Dalles got its name. The entire volume of The Dalles used to push through a two-mile channel of basalt about 150 feet wide here at The Dalles. French fur traders, many of which were in this area, referred to tight rocky water channels as “dalles.”
