SHAMROCK,TEXAS IRISH VILLAGE MURALS

My niece and I started our search on Hwy 83 off of Interstate 20 to capture murals in unexpected places...
Shamrock, Texas is on the old Route 66, now shared with Interstate 40.
We got there late in the day and realized we would not have enough time to capture the riot of murals in this tiny town.
Elvis spent the night there once and there is a cafe called the U Drop Inn. There is a booth with a placard noting this is where sat....
We spent the night and after breakfast went on a mad photo tour of this tiny, sleepy town.
We expected the ubiquitous museum but not the overwhelming paintings on just about every building and retaining walls.
Me being the mad photographer demanding "stop, stop" at my patient driver.  What fun!

                                             To make sense of it all.... this wall is on the north side, the back is facing west and the rest is on the south side of the open space.  There probably was a building here....

This is the front part of the south wall. 

This is at the "back" of the U shaped display. It looks as if the buildings were all attached in a continuous flow.  This is the back of a building on the street another block away. The alley.

This is the south wall.

 This tiny picture is obviously a castle.
 Homage to Ireland is my guess...

This is on the north wall hidden by huge tree.

The attention to detail for such a
large undertaking is amazing.

Again, this is on the left (north) as you stand on the street.

i took this one to show
the artistic detail.

The beginning of mural on the north wall.

This is at the end of the south wall

If I get to take another trip on this highway, I think I'll try the panoramic thingy ...
