I posted still from this a while back.

Wellington Dam is located in Wellington National Park, near Collie WA, and is a 2-megawatt single-turbine hydroelectric power station.

Wellington Dam has the second largest surface water catchment in Western Australia. Although the water isn't safe for drinking, it is used mostly for irrigation and is managed by Harvey Water.

A giant mural painted across the surface of the dam, by artist Guido Van Helten, is the largest dam mural in the world.

Masonry paint should last a good while.
It must have been a major undertaking. Very imaginative, isn't it.

Beautiful landscape views.    I remember the mural from the single shot.  It still amazes me that somebody was able to produce such fantastic results in such a challenging location.  Hopefully, the mural will last many, many years for everybody to enjoy.

It certainly is. It's fenced off about 80m away, but that doesn't stop drones

And therein lies their advantage - particularly the ones with a zoom lens.
Although that mural is so big you wouldn't need any zoom
