These are some of the murals that at the Dallas Fair Park. I'm told that they were painted for the 1936 World's Fair. These along with the art deco style buildings and statues makes it a very interesting and historic place to visit. I've only walked around this part of the Fair Park twice but both times I was the only one around. It was sort of like a my private outdoor museum.
With no one else visiting, I sure hope the Fair Park isn't allowed to deteriorate! It'll be a shame to lose these very interesting murals. They seem to be fading already.
I've often said that People don't realize what kind of history surrounds them in their own back yard. I guess you have to love history! Thanks for the pics.
I moved to Pennsylvania so I don't post in this blog anymore. Feel free to look at the pictures, then check out my updated blogs. Newtown Area Photo and Something Sighted Stop by and say hello.
Hello dear James!
ReplyDeleteThese paintings brought to my mind something about Greece, I don't know why!
Great post!

ReplyDeleteHi Léia, I can imagine Greece too.
ReplyDeleteHilda, I neglected to mention that this area is fenced off and they are in the process of retoring it. I snuck in. hehe :-)
So true Bogey, and yes I really love history.
