The once grand mosaic mural, now decayed and abandoned, was, I believe, a vast composition depicting various landmarks of Taipei.

Linking Mural Monday
I have returned to diligently addressing the backlog of delayed referrals from last week, and the effort is certainly taking its toll. Over the weekend, Joel was unable to join the planned trip to Pinnacles, having discovered at the last moment that he had a prior commitment to a family dinner. In his absence, I devoted my time to attending to a rather tedious volume of paperwork.
...a nice touch of color.
ReplyDeleteRather faded
DeleteIt looks good :-D
ReplyDeleteDecay and forlorn
DeleteThat was once a terrific mural, but 24 years of abandonment shows. Good you got a volume of paperwork done.
ReplyDeleteI guess work helps with identity and purpose of life
DeleteWhat a shame it is now decaying and abandoned.
ReplyDeleteThe colours that are left do look good.
All the best Jan
PS Hope you got all of your paperwork done!
The sad reality of things wonderful
DeleteA nice relic of earlier days.
ReplyDeleteThey actually used pretty tiles to make the mural. What a shame that no one has done any upkeep on it!!
ReplyDeleteSeeing it only brings sadness
DeleteEn esta ocasión si que vale decir eso "de cualquier tiempo pasado fue mejor". Y creo que no puede haber discusiones de puntos de vista.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Spot on
DeleteWhat fun! 😉
ReplyDeleteThis must have been so beautiful before it was abandoned.
ReplyDeleteThat is both sad and ugly. It should be restored or demolished.
ReplyDeleteMust have been fascinatingly beautiful in its prime!
ReplyDeleteTime will do that to most things.
ReplyDeleteOnce very beautiful I guess.
ReplyDeleteThat's remarkable! It still attracts attention with colors and shapes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity it's looking so unloved. It must have looked great in it's hey day. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals .
ReplyDeleteAunque ahora se ve en muy mal estado, seguramente tuvo sus momentos de gloria.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
The mural at the abandoned beach resort sounds like a fascinating piece of history, albeit one in decline. It’s always intriguing to see how art can outlast its original context, even as it fades or decays over time. The depiction of Taipei landmarks in such a setting must have been striking, a testament to the ambition and vision behind it. Your return to managing the backlog of work and paperwork highlights the often overwhelming demands of daily responsibilities. I hope you get a chance to recharge soon, despite the challenges of keeping up with everything.

Too bad it is so tarnished. You don't come across that many real mosaics and unlike those of antiquity, they are not very resistant either.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been beautiful in it's day. Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteIt is still very beautiful! Good luck catching up with your paperwork.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a grand mural.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to see it in such condition. Some nice murals here have had the same fate.
ReplyDeleteit looks abandoned, indeed. And nice!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a very interesting place.
ReplyDeleteI like this. A pity it has sort of fallen apart.
