Hollywood Boulevard mural

This week, Tipsy from the TRIP returns to Monday Mural with the picture of an enormous piece of art from the ‘little Hollywood’ in Disney’s California Adventure Parkย in Anaheim, California. Let’s call it the Hollywood Boulevard mural, for now.

I found this mural when I was on Hollywood Boulevard — not the real one — but the one in California Adventure Park, where Disney has tried to create parts of several attractions of the ‘golden state.’ As such, there is an area in the park that is called ‘Hollywood Land’ and in it, is a mini-Hollywood Boulevard and a Sunset Boulevard, too.

The Hollywood Mural

This mural is at the end of Hollywood Boulevard, where it intersects with Sunset Boulevard. When I first saw this, i.e when I entered the ‘boulevard’ I thought it was a big board with painted blue skies and clouds set up as a back ground for the street. It was only when I got up-close that I realized that that painting at the end of the road had some buildings also on it, making it look like the street extends into the mural.

When I say ‘big,’ ย this is how big it really is in comparison with the size of us humans —

Look at the sheer size of the mural!

It was only when I was at the end of the Sunset Boulevard at Hollywood Land that I noticed that the Hollwood Boulevard Mural I had seen, was actually on the back of a building. Here’s what it looked like when I looked back at the painting —

The mural, from the end of Sunset Boulevard. I wonder who painted this.

    Looks like a very well done movie background. Very well executed. If you are on a little distance you can believe its real. Great mural, great find.

      From afar we see that the sky is a painting. I like how you wonder where the buildings end and where the painting starts. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Wow, you are back in the new year ?

    Good to see your post. Reminds me of the various hotels in Las Vegas which have their own themes, like Venice or Rome or New York etc…much like the theme in those murals. Even the sky looks real in those hotels.

    Btw, happy new year.

      Hey Alok!
      Yup! I’m back, after what seems like a long break. I ran into some technical issues and then some more of them. And I used the time for some projects at home. Gosh! but I missed blogging so much!! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Nice to see you back here, also. ๐Ÿ˜€
      A trip to Vegas is long overdue. I’ll look out for the little reproductions there in the Sin City. Thank you, Alok.

      And Happy New Year to you and your lovely girl. ๐Ÿ™‚

    We were here 3 weeks ago! I love this mural. We happened onto a streetcar full of performers at this spot and followed it as they sang. Then they all hopped out and danced and sang on the steet, joined by Mickey. So fun! Happy New Year!
