You never know what mural you’ll see on the building that is on the corner of Haight and Pierce because they are always changing. I end up falling in love with a mural and feel sad when it’s gone, only to fall in love with the next.
San Francisco, CA

 

I showed you mine, now show me yours.

Share your city/town/suburb/you name it! Think of this as a photography carnival or photography meme (with or without words) that not only lets you share your part of the world, but lets you visit other parts of the world virtually. If you link up, please link back or post the Sundays In My City button either in your post or sidebar to let people know that other bloggers are sharing their communities too. Happy trails!

Let’s travel the world together!

    Oye! I have a similar post today – wall art, I was just uploading the photos to my computer from my mobile phone when I saw your tweet pop up!. :D Your photos are great. I just love wall art, don’t you?  I just love the last photo! Happy Sunday! (it has been a while since I saw your girls! Is Put Pie enjoying school? Does Luna Pie miss her when she’s away?)

      Put Pie likes school. The drop off is still very hard and full of tears, but when I pick her up she tells me she can’t wait for the next day. Luna never wants to leave the school, she wants to stay there with her sister and play. It pretty much feels like I’m the one going to preschool.

    I just noticed some wall art here in our little town the other day and thought, “SIMC post!”

    Ours isn’t as full of joie de vivre as yours, but it’ll do.

    Maybe a future post – - -

    Oh, I just love those murals.  The idea of living walls, that are changing constantly is very cool, but I do see how favorite works would be missed.  How fun that you have that to visit.  I’d be there all the time to see what’s next.

    Clean, bright, inspiring. That’s what I want to see on early Sunday morning. Nice.

    I love all the beautiful street art you’ve shared with us. These murals are so realistic, they are almost like photos.

  • Kathy

    Amazing talent! Happy Sunday!

    Philadelphia Art is amazing.  Not only does it focus on the past history but also the soulfulness of the people living there.  Your wall art is just as inspiring!

  • Joanne Olivieri

    Great shots and exactly why I love the Haight so much.

  • StarTraci

    Just beautiful. I love murals. There is nothing like taking art off the walls of galleries and bringing it onto the streets!

    The quality of the wall / street art simply never ceases to amaze. The top photo captures my attention the most, but they are all remarkable (and I remarking :-)

    Just curious–How long do they usually stay up before being replaced?

      Long enough to get attached. I’ve never actually kept tabs, but months.
