Remember the building in Old Montreal getting a new face lift? Just a few days after the original post, I caught the “aesthetics working crew” doing their update of the new-and improved false front of the run-down building.
A fantastic artwork was done to resemble (what we all imagine to be) the original building. Although here you can only see it half-way done, the final artwork is a well done rendering of the building. There are some very impressive details on the artwork: the reflection on the “lower windows” shows us the building across the street. Absolutely brilliant. You won’t be able to see it on this shot. But wait, there is more to come.

Paris did something similar a couple years ago, on Avenue George V. It was really nice (typical Parisian Haussmanian style wallpaper).
Later, actually, I saw something even cooler, in Paris on George V too. They put up a similar wallpaper on a building front, expect that the building was all warped and out of focus. Very psychedelic! It's hard to describe, but it was really cool.
I actually found a couple links so everyone can see it:

wow, that's wicked.
It makes you feel a little dizzy after watching it for a while, no?
Thanks for the link!
