I saw this water tank up in a development in El Dorado Hills, California and was glad to see some creative camouflage not to mention public art!

Homeowners with big properties are often required to have water storage tanks in case of fire or emergency. We are also using them now for gray water storage. They aren’t this big but are still intrusive. They are hard to hide so why not use them as a canvas! It was interesting that the trees that they had planted in front of the tanks to hide them from the neighborhood had not survived, so luckily the mural was in place. On smaller lots the tanks are often very visible and difficult to screen so I was encouraged to find this example of a tank that “blends in” with the environment. My friend that I was with mentioned another example of a mural on a tank with the incredible hulk breaking through with gushing water- a more humorous interpretation! We had a great hike up there and the views in the spring from above Roseville and El Dorado Hills is spectacular! Happy Spring Everyone and I hope you all can get out and enjoy the wildflowers!
