Taste of Cuba, Phoenix, Arizona

This depiction of Havana, Cuba, adorns a wall alongside an access ramp to a parking garage in downtown Phoenix … and there’s no apparently obvious reason why this is here. (Was there a Cuban restaurant or social club here, once upon a time?) Image captured back in April.

Warehouse District, Phoenix, Arizona

This is among a handful of activism-inspired wall art in the Warehouse District, south of the office towers in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Spotted this on my visit to the city last month.

Street art, Portland, Oregon

Spotted this lovely piece of wall art a few weeks ago on SE Division Street in Portland, Oregon. It’s a shame some thoughtless tagger chose to vandalize this.

This fella adorns a building in Leipzig, Germany, not too far from the central train station, in the city’s historical quarter. Spotted back in September.

An ocean-going vessel docked on the east bank of the Willamette River is framed by the superstructure and rails of the Steel Bridge in Portland, Oregon, as seen early last week.
