Measuring in at about 20' x 80', this colorful piece occupies the entire west side of the building at Main Street and Emma Avenue. The colors used are vivid and when it's facing the Sun, the colors really pop.
Basically, this is a two-sided mural - the top reveals what's going on above the water, while the bottom reveals what is happening below the water.
Above the water, there are many mountains in the background, as well as a small flock of geese flying in a "V" formation together. Other highlights of the top half include a crane (bird), a few water plants, a couple of kids fishing, and a tree on the shoreline.
Underwater, we can see lots of water plants, an area of sun rays penetrating the water, a small pile of rocks that hides some sort of creature that is exhaling air bubbles, and finally an orange bobber from the fisherman's line above, which is being approached by an inquisitive fish. On the far right, we can see a frog poking his head above water.
All in all, this is a well-done piece with lots of detail put into it. If you're ever in the area, this mural (along with the others downtown) are well worth a visit.
