Found at American Steel, the artist collective in West Oakland. I imagine that scary looking unicorn behind the fence has fiery eyes when it visits Burning Man.

¡ay, chihuahua!
Who wouldn't love this little guy sitting on their chair or sofa? Shot through a store window in Temescal Alley.

Oakland marathon
The 5th annual Running Festival was Sunday and 10,000 people participated in the events. It's a big deal and a point of pride for all Oaklanders. I couldn't attend this year but am posting a photo from last March to commemorate the event.

Monday Mural: we do dirt
Murals can be found everywhere. Even on trucks. DFM probably stands for something like "dirt for money" or a more clever variation on the theme.

Monday mural: MSK crew
Another mural on Honest Al's wall near the devil featured two weeks ago. This looks rather sweet especially in contrast to some of the darker images on the wall. But give it a look and weird images start to pop out. I spotted angry birds, a crazed Woody the Woodpecker, and lots and lots of eyes. Not so sweet after all. By the MSK Crew (Mad Society Kings). To make things even more interesting, it's quite likely that a signature is hidden among all those swirls.

Temple Sinai
Temple Sinai is a reform synagogue located on the edge of the Uptown area. The congregation was established in the late 1880s after European Jews settled in the area subsequent to the Gold Rush. This building was built in 1910 and proudly sits on the corner of Webster and 28th Street. The most recent rains did not appear and we are now doomed to sunny skies for at least another week. In the meantime, trees are leafing out and spring blooms are everywhere. Linking to Skywatch Friday.

when you're out of planter boxes...
What can I say? Those wacky guys at Automania Studios are starting their spring gardening. Found in the artistic enclave of Jingletown.

blue skies again
We've had some much needed rain but there will be fair skies for the weekend. This ship-like observation deck is at Arrowhead Marsh in the MLK Jr. Shoreline Park. Linked to Skywatch Friday.

industrial West Oakland
West Oakland has a long industrial past that is now on the wane. It looks like this factory is abandoned, but one can never be sure. Much of the area is now filled with artist workshops and gentrified housing. One can only hope for a resurgence of the area that still has wonderful Victorian era houses. Last week's mural can be seen in the far distance.

Monday Mural: the devil's in the details
Honest Al's wall in West Oakland has new murals. This one really caught my eye. Scary good. Don't know if "Chucky" is the artist of this image or the one next to it.
