Happy new week, frens!
The day is looking lovely despite the early morning drizzles. I hope everything is going well on your side of the world just as it is here.
Anyhow, from our errands in the city, we took the longer route just so we would not get caught in the bad traffic. And while we were traversing the streets of Bahong, we noticed the cool artwork along the fencing and could not help but take pictures of them.
While captured while on the fast moving vehicle and not the best shots, I think they are still worth sharing.
This was the signage indicating what place it was.
Most of the artwork depicts the locality's old tradition and culture, including its livelihood.
Bahong is known for its cut flowers cultivated in greenhouses or in the open fields. They supply the nation's capital (Manila) with hundreds of boxes every day which are then sold to the various markets (i.e. Dimasalang being the most known place for flower traders).
Pardon me for the pictures as they were taken while on the speeding car. Couldn't take a snap of them fast enough, lol!

Based on the signatures on some of them, the murals were created by various artists. I could not find information on them however, but at least they indicated which ones were their works. These were during the pandemic year (between 2021-2022).
And let me just share this last capture. The cam caught a woman hopping onto a jeepney, lol!
This is the place where the artworks are found. Obviously, I missed lots of the murals. Screenshot via Worldmappin.
Most fences along La Trinidad (our region's capital and also the town where Bahong is located) are colored with different masterpieces of local artists (both amateurs and professionals). I have shared some of the painted walls in the past and may still be writing about them in the future as I have a few more pictures from different streets so do bear with me.😃
Thank you and have a glorious Monday :)
