ABC Wednesday: Z is for zebra

Oakland has a multitude of public murals, only some of which have been shown on ODP.  For this particular ABC Wednesday, what could be more fitting than the zebra mural under highway 580 on Broadway?  Actually, several zebras graze on this freeway support pier, with this as an exemplar.  This mural was done many years ago by muralist Dan Fontes, who also did this giraffe posted last fall.   For more "Z" photos from around the world, visit ABC Wednesday.  Next week we start the alphabet all over again.  Yippee!  Why not join us?

  5. Did the same zebra pose in Belgrade and Oakland -- if so he really gets around. Beautiful shot of a great mural.

  6. It looks alive, which makes the oblivious bike guy even better.

  7. But Oakland isn't a thing like the Serengeti Plain! That bright red and white sticker on the parking meter makes the picture pop.

  8. I agree with the writers when as in this case adorn a wall in my country so often dirty the facades of the buildings of the '700 is where I disagree
