white rock whaling wall

One of my favorite local murals is this whale mural in White Rock, seen on Johnston Road as you head toward the beach.

A little sleuthing on the internet has netted me some interesting info about it.

The 21 metre long mural of three life-size gray whales was painted by Wyland, in September of 1984. At the time he was a 28 year old California artist. It was the fourth of Wyland's "whaling walls." In February this year he completed number 95 in Key Largo.
