Eduardo Kobra Mural - 911 Fire Fighter tribute
Walking around the city I have seen so much art, some amazing and some tacky, and after being here os long I never think I will see something new that just takes my breath away, but I was proven wrong recently as I was walking down 49th Street towards 3rd Ave, and came across this Mural

This is a Mural by Eduardo Kobra, a Brazillian Street Artist, who has apparently added about 15 new murals around NYC, and this is the first of his new pieces that I have seen.
I have seen some of his work in the past and I love the vibrant colors and style of his work, but this one really caused me to stop in my tracks and admire his work, I feel it is a beautiful tribute to fire Fighters and indeed other First responders who often put their own life at risk to protect the rest of us.

This second shot I zoomed in to show some of the detail in this beautiful piece of art, I am sure many know but in case your wondering about the significance of the number 343 on the helmet, it is to highlight the number of firefighters who gave their lives while responding to the 911 tragedy.

This last shot I got with the person in shot so you get a sense of the scale of this mural.
Now I have read online that some complain that this mural is too colorful and bright for a tribute to such a tragedy, I however feel it is a wonderful tribute to the firefighters.
