The projects wouldn't be that hard given time, organization, and experience. It would be marvelous if these images inspired others to explore large scale mural projects.

These are grown every year and are designed to be optimally viewed from a certain perspective- the balcony of town hall. Quite impressive in person. It saddens me that somebody immediately thinks of Photoshop upon seeing these photos; they must see clone tooling and gradients everywhere. Inakadate is a few hours drive from my house.

Speaking as a graphic artist I can assure you that faking all the photos in that link would have been almost as hard as doing it for real. @Drewkulele: Photoshop fakes usually don’t show the same scene from several angles, including closeups.
