Monday Mural: storefront design

Walking around Uptown, I spotted this rolling door mural.  Sort of mandala-ish looking with lots of eyes and faces staring  back at you.  As other CDP photogs have shown us, roll up doors are great canvases.

night view of the Lake

A recent night view of Lake Merritt looking east.  The Necklace of Lights adds magic to the scene.

Monday Mural: rise above

Rise Above is a newish used book shop and record store.  Additionally, they also provide free food to local residents in need.  The floating building in the recently completed mural is an accurate representation of the store's location and seems to have been done by a multi-person crew.  Apparently they are planning a move a couple of blocks down the street.  Already?

'tis the season

You know it's the holidays when Ken dolls and GI Joes climb onto the Christmas tree.

Monday Mural: Venice up the alley

This one is from the archives.  This Venice scene adorns the side of an apartment building along the driveway and then around to the back.  Way back when, I showed you the back parking area.  This view can be spotted from the street.  I guess the building's owner is an aficionado of La Serenissima.

Monday Mural: blue bird

This lovely bird is on an Uptown wall of a restaurant terrace.  Since the restaurant was closed, I couldn't get an unobstructed shot.  I'm guessing it's by Doty but can't be sure.  If I'm wrong, someone will set me straight.

Paris in Oakland

Spotted this vignette while walking along College Avenue.  Oakland rouge?

Monday Mural: bird in a cloud

This wonderful avian portrait is found in the Uptown area just off Telegraph Avenue.  If it were a real bird I'd worry about the paint job on the Ford.
