Deep in thought

Another sample of the awesome murals in Phoenix, Arizona. Spotted this one a few blocks north of Arizona State University in/near the downtown.

Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A.

There is a strong culture of murals and wall art in Phoenix, Arizona. The result is a widespread proliferation of accessible street art, including this piece here by Fred Tieken, painted in 2012 and photographed on my recent visit to the city.

Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A.

Another view from Pinnacle Peak Park in Scottsdale, Arizona, last month. The mountain is higher but hikers are prohibited from most off-trail excursions, which appear to be limited to rock climbers only.

No relief here!

Very unsubtle message for dogs … if only they could read! Spotted in Phoenix, Arizona, last month.

Something super positive found on the side of a building in San Francisco last month.

Sutro Baths

Another view from my quick hike in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area last month. The remnants of the old Sutro Baths are at the left, along the shore.

San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

We recently went through a round of safety training at work, so the additions to this sign brought a smile to my face. Another snapshot from my visit to San Francisco last month.
