Some distinctive art features added to the streetlights in Phoenix, Arizona, as captured on a visit there in 2015.

Galaxy of artificial fireflies

A view from a cool piece of art that on display at the Phoenix Art Museum.

“You Who Are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies” by artist Yayoi Kusama, above, is a darkened house of mirror filled with strings of colour-changing LEDs.

Below, I had some fun with the camera while inside the art display.

Structures

Some cool rock formations paired with equally cool clouds just outside Kingman, Arizona, as seen through the window of an intercity bus back in December.

Highway junction

Snapped this scene through the window of a bus back in December, while I was making may way from Phoenix to Las Vegas.

(On a technical note: I wonder if the speed of our vehicle created some kind of rolling shutter artifact in this picture, as I’m not certain the sign in the foreground was quite so slanted in real life.)

Phoenix, Arizona

So … something is happening to these bears … I just have no idea what. This mural was spotted just off Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix back in December.

Phoenix, Arizona

Another of the fantastic murals to be found in Phoenix, Arizona. I came across this one in April 2016. (It’s a shame some low-life decided to vandalize this.)

Not quite sure what this is … spotted on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona, back in December.

Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A.

Here’s another one of Phoenix’s jaw-dropping murals — a portion of it anyhow. There’s a lot going on here, in what appears to be an underwater universe. Snapped this shot back in December.
