Corner of Granville & Davie Street, Vancouver, B.C.

There, amongst the dumpsters, cigarette butts and alley refuse is a mural that is a visual parable for those who choose to see it as such.

Tucked away off of a busy street in the heart of Vancouver, this hidden gem of street art remains, for the most part, ignored and isolated - just like the rocks and islands who pass by it.

Insulated in their cocoon of phone apps, tweets and ear buds, the dwellers of the electric city march-by, yoga mats in hand, eager to chase that elusive bliss that always seems to be, just beyond their reach. 

Eventually, the colours will start to fade and this city scape will be no more. And the only memory of its existence will be in the minds of those who chose to stop and open their eyes to the world around them.
