Description:
In this mural Mass Ave has become a placid blue-green canal. The tall buildings along the block east of Prospect St. are reflected on the water's surface along with the images of a women in a high-collared dress and a straw-hatted man sitting in a green row boat. The man holds a white parasol and the oars, but they all seem suspended in time. Nothing breaks the glassy surface of the water.
