Several days back we were in Seward – on the SE edge of the Kenai Peninsula. Ranger and I took a nice long walk around the town and recorded our route with the camera. I’ve got lots of pics to share. My first post from Seward shows lots of murals.
For the last 17 years, or so, the Seward Mural Association has sponsored a new addition to the town each year. I didn’t find them all, but I found a lot of them.
1. Remembering Exit Glacier; Dot Bardarson
2. Home of the AK Flag; don’t know the artist – The AK flag was designed by a 12 year old boy from Seward, AK.
3. Postcards of the Past; Jennifer Headtke and Jeannie Shirk
4. Dawn of Aviation; Jennifer Headtke and Tim Sczawinski – It was a big AK event when a Russian plane landed on the beach at Seward in 1929. The flight was sponsored by Russia and the U.S.
5. Chart of the Entrance to Resurrection Bay – don’t know the artist for this one, but I’m pretty sure he/she was on drugs.
6. Iditarod Trail; Jon Van Zyle
7. Mount Marathon; Susan Swiderski – This one is in two parts. The uphill portion follows a staircase; clever, don’t you think? I was amused that this mural is painted on the side of the Senior Center.
8. Wildflower Garden; Gail Niebrugge – Appropriately as a backdrop for a community park.
9. Tribute to Commercial Fishing; Tom Missel – This is my favorite.
10. Wildflower Quilt – I think this may have been the first one. It was on the side of the shower rooms at our campground.
