I love murals and will photograph them when I see them. Here are a few of mine, if you have any feel free to share them.
While waiting for our uber to go to the airport in Richmond last week, I was taken by this mural in the lobby of the Omni Hotel. I shot it with my Samsung S5 as my camera equipment was packed for the trip home. But I have to say someone put a lot of work into this and it is beautiful...

Here are a couple we got while vacationing in 2015. These are somewhere on HWY160 in Colorado; taken in Sept. 2015. Sorry I cannot recall which town.
I should get a few locally tomorrow weather permitting as I am planning a fairly long ride on the motorcycle and know where a few are located. I also had a few others ready to share just now, but the Interweeb seems to be moving slowly this morning; will add those later.
Bavatian towns in southern Germany have lots of colorful wall murals painted on the outside of churches, businesses, and residences, usually featuring a religious theme. The Munich church shown here in 1946 had been damaged during a British air raid. The other scene was taken in 1962 in Wallgau, a small town in Oberbayern.

Wallgau - note mural add-ons as painted window frames
Very attractive and fun murals, Rena. I love the one at Joshua Tree. Your perspective makes it look like the foreground and the mural are all one landscape! Here are some of mine shot in Deland, Fl.
The crowd appears to be posing for a photo and my husband posed as the photographer.

OK, hoping I'm getting better service from the provider now. Here are some shots from Penasco, NM in May of 2015.

Lake Placid, FL is noted for its murals and has been written up in a past issue of the Reader's Digest. Here are just a few examples of the murals that adorn the majority of the buildings in the central part of this small town "city".
The "Bit of Country" in Palm Springs CA on Indian Avenue is a great place for breakfast! I plan on Breakfast there sometime in the next two weeks.
