    That’s a very interesting building you wouldn’t realize how gigantic that mural is if not for the window washers. Wow.

    I wonder how they paint something that size without making any mistakes.

    Woah! I had to do a double take. I also wonder how people can paint something that size and still see what they need to do. Do they have someone on the ground with a walkie talkie saying, “Ok, a little more red on the baloon”?

    If I lived in one of those apartments (not shown in this picture but shown in the link), I’d be very happy to look at the mural instead of an institutional-looking blank wall.

    I agree with the others, the size of that mural is astounding. The perspective gained by the crane makes the point.
