Marée humaine entre La Jaconde et moi

Look at how nicely she smiles at the mob before her at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Stop driving

Fron a visit to Berkeley, Calif., in March 2010.
Here is my Flickr set from that trip to San Francisco and area.

That smalltown feel

Hillhurst Hardware has some wonderful art on the street side (above) but have you noticed there are visual adornments along the alley side (below), too?

Since 1945

Sing, sing, sing

Many of the walls along the streets and alleys of San Francisco’s Mission district are adorned with awesome pieces of art. If you do nothing else in the neighbourhood, take a couple of hours to meander and explore for these nuggets sprinkled all through. There are even walking tours specifically made for seeing these pieces of street art. It’s truly a feast for the eyes.

History lesson Hunting the tiger War machine

See more from my trip to the San Francisco Bay area, back in March 2010.
Need to get back there soon!

Stretching into the core

What can I say, except that the Peace Bridge is surprisingly photogenic.

Riding over the Bow

People (including me, I suppose) are still going to the Peace Bridge to look at it … but many like this cyclist are using the bridge for its intended purpose.
