Marin County and Angel Island are off in the distance.

View from the Baker Street steps
The Lyon Street steps are quite famous, and rightly so (garden terraces aren't common here, so it is special), and so I somehow had never been down the Baker Street Steps before.
It's nice to have a lush green block on that steep slope.

Rowland
I've seen Caratoes' work before, and this fragment (the mural is 3x this wide) isn't her only piece in San Francisco.
This was part of my 'wandering into alleys to look at the walls' Saturday.

Playing with the Instax mini film
With my planned photo outing waiting on better weather, I went out to see if I can figure out what the camera REALLY sees, since the viewfinder is intended for multiple film formats, and what the camera sees varies depending on focusing distance. Sometimes, I guessed well. Sometimes, I did not guess well.
Looooong musical mural
This is the first time I've passed this mural and could capture it without annoying people standing near it! It is SO FESTIVE, especially on a gray day like today.
This is by artist Johanna Poethig (johannapoethig.com), and it wraps around the building - these are just images from the Golden Gate Avenue side, there is more of it in Hyde Street.
Night colors
This is next to the prior post, on Olive at Larkin. I REALLY LIKE the colors and contrast in this one. I've been trying to look up who did it, but the internet keep showing me a different, older mural there. (Yes, I tried a Google image search using this image AND I checked at sfmuralarts pages for the neighborhood. It showed me about six other images that have adorned the same wall!)
Glyphs
I think this piece is on Olive at Larkin. I really like the greens.
I think this is character-based and is more graffiti than a mural, but I'm unsure that's a distinction I need to make...
Thai neon
Part of me thinks you would really need your neon artist to already know Thai to get the shapes right, but maybe I'm just hung up on my bad stroke order in my Japanese studies, which makes me doubt everything. I'm sure neon artists are really adaptable!
Alley florals
This is in an alley called Wilmot at Fillmore, by artist Megan Montanti (sites are artistmegansara.com and picuki.com/profile/artistmegansara). The colors are great (you know how I am about soft blue-greens), and I like the rough treatment of the upper edge of the piece.
