Difficult to find, fantastic to see (and shoot)

This was one of the farthest mural I went to...I guess I walked more than 10 km for arriving there...the map that I had was great to give indications where you could find murals, but very poor in terms of real representation of distances and names of the minor roads...so I found myself searching for the murals in this area with no real map, no too many people around to whom I could ask and...well no real news, under the rain...

Today, when I was doing research on internet regarding this mural (also very poor information on-line...:( ).....I found out that I was actually wander around in the Ballymurphy area, famous for the massacre of the 9th of August 1971. When I said that now West Belfast is a much calmer area where it is possible to go...that it is....I am now shocked by thinking that in those quiet roads a civil war was happening 40 years ago....
