Gumbo’s Pic of the Day, Oct. 19, 2014: Creating an Urban Jungle

20141018_162052

Neighborhood artists at work on Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, seem to blend into the mural they are restoring on the wall of the Prospect Park subway station. The mural reflects the stations location near Prospect Park and its zoo, although the zoo’s wildlife is more focused on small animals and their habitats. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Brooklyn Museum are also nearby. Photo by Joan Heymont.
