Townsend CalTrain Station Mural

This mural  is 60 feet long and 40 feet wide. The mural sits on the back of the Crescent Cove Apartments that back up to the Caltrain tracks.  (Caltrain is the commuter train line from San Jose to San Francisco).  To appreciate it completely please watch the video first.

Since the mural is on the railroad tracks, one has to stand on a ladder to clear a six foot fence in order to get photos.

According to the Systems Mural Project the mural explores connectivity, and the meaning of the mural is:

Systems are found in nature (the water cycle) and systems are created by man (the government). As we move into the 21st Century, what have we learned about sustainable systems- what works and what doesn’t. Should we revisit ancient technologies? Is the Industrial Age over? It’s through this conversation that we gain an understanding of, perhaps the most complicated systems of all, our systems of belief.
