Red Koi Mural

I've shared with you before that I am partial to mosaics and murals ...or any urban art that serves to beautify our environment. 

This mural of koi I saw in Beijing is no exception.

Beijing, 2007

Koi - a Japanese term - is an ornamental variety of the common carp. These hardy fish are bred in many different colors, patterns and scales. Koi are often seen in Asia in both indoor aquariums and outdoor ponds and are associated with courage and good luck.
