The Hand Writing Is On The Wall

 

 

wall (1 of 2)

 

While visiting an interpretive center dedicated to the local cannery workers, I was fascinated by how they recorded the events of the day onto the building’s walls.  The writing was reminiscent of the Native American petroglyphs I saw while visiting Utah many years ago.  I suppose that man has always had a need to express himself and the walls of an old cannery are as good of place as any.

For all our differences we are still pretty much the same no matter the where or when.

Some interesting notes on that wall. ;-)

It's a prretty cool place. There is another wall where former workers each signed their name and said what they once did. Some of the writers worked there 50+ years ago.

Wonderful colors and lines. I think I could have spent a great deal of time with that wall.
