Weekend Reflection: mural and tiles

After I took a picture of this mural, I noticed it reflected in the tiles on the building across the street.  Since I also love the old tiles that decorate so many of Oakland's buildings, I had to take a picture of this one too.  I like the abstract, watercolorish, fractured quality of the reflection.  But I agree, without an explanation, you don't know what you've got here.  For more reflections, visit James' meme Weekend Reflections.

    It is true that some times after a picture is taken, we find surprises within it !!!!

    I love hand painted tiles and never get to see them here in South Carolina. There are things about California that I do miss!

    They say after you take the shot you wanted, to turn around and see what's behind you. You proved it! Great shot.

    love all the mosaic tile shots on this blog. Oakland seems to be the place for that.

    This is a good one, combining two of Oakland's famous art forms: tiles and murals.
