Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Last Sunday, I went for a walk at the heritage area of George Town and was surprised to see new mural art which weren't there before. This particular one is at the corner of an alleyway in Cannon Street. It features a cat looking out of a painted window. I included the mailbox in the foreground as it contains the word 'dragon' and a faded mural of the mystical creature on the wall beneath it.

Then it came to my mind that the only title that captures everything in this composition is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Why tiger? Because the cat belongs to the same family. Why dragon? The mail box and the partly hidden dragon.

Enjoy.
