We were taking the covered bridge tourist trail through Indiana County to visit the historic Thomas Covered Bridge. Right before you get to the bridge we passed through an old underpass on a country back road. To my surprise that underpass had a pretty outdoor wall mural painted on both sides of it.
We're big fans of outdoor street art, hand-painted barn murals, wall murals on buildings, etc. We couldn't stop to photograph it properly due to the oncoming traffic and narrow areas to pull over. We slowed down and tried to get the best photos of it that we could.
According to the signature it was painted in 2012 by four different people (check out the bottom right corner) to see the signatures. It's pretty worn in areas, so it was difficult to read.
The art mural features a hand-painted design of the historic Thomas Covered Bridge. The right side of the underpass has the covered bridge depiction along with lush green trees and foliage. It says Thomas Bridge 1879 at the top and a hand-painted "Walk Your Horse" description.
If you wanted to get better photographs of it I would suggest parking at the Thomas Covered Bridge and walking up to it...alongside the road. It's not a heavily traveled road, but was busy on the day we were visiting.
