The mural atop the Vallejo Housing Authority Building was long and high. It seemed odd that the mural could not occupy the entire side of the building. Perhaps the height deters graffiti.

The leftmost part of the mural, on the side of the Vallejo Housing Authority Building in Vallejo, California, showed Vallejo's past with ship building.

The next part of the mural showed art and engineering, and a crane over the Napa River.

As our view of the mural moved right, the surface of the mural began to appear worn by the elements.

More Modern

The mural seemed more modern towards its right, yet more worn away by the elements.

Farmers Market

A sign on the mural described this part as a "Farmers Market." Here worn people shopped under tents.

Worn Away

To the right of the "Farmers Market," on the mural, the scene became so worn, that it became difficult to describe the scene.

The Rightmost End

The rightmost end of the mural was so worn away by the elements, that it held only the suggestion of buildings and people.
