New mural in downtown Silver Spring (Video+Photos)

A new piece of public art has taken its place in downtown Silver Spring. The Metro-themed Traincharmachameleon by artist Goodloe Byron depicts a giant chameleon who has apparently consumed a Metro train. In a nice touch of realism in an otherwise surreal image, the subway train is made up of the latest generation of Metro cars. The work is sponsored by Montgomery County and developer Washington Property Company, and is located by WPC's latest Solaire project at Georgia Avenue and Bonifant Street.

    Love it. Hope it lasts; the plaster on that wall has flaked off and been redone three times in the last decade.

      3:35: Better look again, old sport - the article you cite does not have actual photos (much less video) of the finished product.
