Girl in Bridge

One last post about the bridge in Frederick as I found it to be interesting.    This portion of the bridge contains a  distorted picture (called an anamorphic projection) of a girl.  The catch here is that if you look at the picture from the proper angle.  (in this case from a window in the adjacent building) it looks normal.   By approaching from the opposite side as you can see below, I got close to it.

BF Bridge

Well, nobody guessed what was different about the bridge in yesterday’s picture.   So I will show you here.   It turns out that all of those stones are actually just painted in.   

It is called the Mural Bridge and both sides of it, as well as the walkways underneath the bridge are painted to look like a stone bridge.  However, there is more.  There are tons of little extras just like this butterfly painted into it as well, but they are only visible when you move in to look closely.

Does anybody know why this bridge in Frederick is unique?
