Monday Mural: alley mash-up

This is another wall in Solano Way, a four-block alley lined with street art.  I didn't see signatures but am thinking this is a collaboration between Canon Dill (the fox) and Girl Mobb.  Maybe the fox is  sweating because of the arrows in her hand.  The piece and tags appear to be newer and I didn't bother trying to research them.

This giant frog graces the facade of a metal recycle center previously featured here.  These folks are too clever by half.  Ah, the artistic mind...

Monday Mural: solemn greeting

This is a new mural to me, probably put up a couple of months ago.  The photo was taken in the late afternoon when both the light and shadows were strong.  The mural celebrates the local Vietnamese community.  Behind the young woman are photos of local families.  The small markings in the background represent designs in traditional Vietnamese textiles.  I couldn't find a signature.

mortuary architecture

Have you ever noticed that mortuary architecture is quite grand?  I wonder why that is?  This business goes back to 1873, although I doubt the building does.

Monday Mural: mermaid with attitude

This is the companion mural to Queen of the Deep shown a couple of weeks ago.  Some of the sea creatures look a little afraid of her.  This one is also by Bode.

dusk at the Lake

It's a beautiful time of day to just sit and watch the changing light.

running the embarcadero

Late afternoon, and the Lake has a lot of activity around it.

looking across the lake

Who doesn't love using telescopes and binoculars to bring the far near.  Especially nice on a bright winter day.

Monday Mural: girl mobb

Here's another tall mural along Solano Way.  This one is by Nina of Girl Mobb.  She seems to favor hooded figures and disembodied hands.  The pink softens what could be a gruesome image--an ironic element I'm sure.  Here's another one by her posted a little over a year ago.
