Wall Murals & Old Treasures From Simpang Ampat, Penang.

Here are some more wall murals from Simpang Ampat, Penang. We were there for a day outing and a seafood lunch at the end of last month. Hope you enjoy the murals from this little fishing town.

  12. The horse painting coming through the wall is my favorite. Wow!

  13. Wow! This may be my favorite post of yours ever!! First, your re-post of the horse and wall. I really could not tell if the wall is real or not, it is done so well by a fabulous artist. I hope he or she became very famous, because they are so talented. I love the fisherman. I cannot imagine how wonderful it must be to eat seafood straight from the sea. The green wall with the people on it (famous groups maybe) is beautiful, I love the color. The car driving through the wall is excellent. I love the three different images of the boy, and of course the little yellow dragon! He may make a good and colorful pet, ha ha!!
