Feathery Friends with a Message
Created by the awesome Kelsey Montague, these aren't your average angel wings. Crafted from a sea of intricate white lace, they burst forth from a dramatic black background, like a majestic phoenix rising from, well, darkness. But it's not just about aesthetics (though, let's be real, those wings are seriously #aesthetic). The mural's title poses a question: What Lifts You?
Is it that perfectly spiced Nashville hot chicken? The toe-tapping tunes that spill out of every honky-tonk? Maybe it's just finding the perfect pair of cowboy boots. Whatever it is, these wings encourage you to take a moment, spread your metaphorical wings, and soar.

Snapping the Perfect Wingspan: A Guide for the Gram-Worthy
Alright, you've found the wings. Now it's time to capture your inner angel (or maybe just your fabulous outfit). Here are some tips for that award-winning mural pic:
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- Lighting is key: Aim for a time of day with soft, natural light. Harsh shadows are the enemy of a good wing selfie.
- Strike a pose: Channel your inner Victoria's Secret model, or just do a goofy jump. Whatever makes you feel fabulous!
- Get creative: Think outside the box (or should we say, wing). Play with perspective, use props (cowboy hat, anyone?), or get your friends involved in a group shot.
Remember: The most important thing is to have fun and let your personality shine through!
