A living mural has been updated to include the damage from the blaze which ravaged Mauao this week.
The detailed and vibrant mural of Mount Maunganui that has recently shown up on one of Tauranga's busiest intersections is the work of 25-year-old Benjamin Lloyd.
Done in airbrush and spray can the mural is an aerial view of Mount Maunganui and Mauao, located on the wall of McDonald's on the corner of Cameron Rd and 11th Ave.
Yesterday, Mr Lloyd added to the mural, painting Mauao burning and a helicopter dousing the flames with a monsoon bucket full of water.
"The Mount is an icon so when it burns it cuts everyone really deep, it affects everyone in this town."
