The incredible street art of San Francisco

On a recent trip to the city by the bay, I did a couple of walking tours and snapped a couple of pictures along the way.

I can't really remember where I walked.  I think I was down in the Mission District and the Haight-Ashbury area.  I do remember how painful my feet were at the end of the day.  Six hours of straight walking in lousy athletic shoes takes its toll.

So here's my portfolio.

I really wanted to write about the scary world of Michele Bachmann but someone else already did that today

...  so I'll keep that blog topic in my backpocket for another time.    

Instead, I've decided to post some photos that I took of the outdoor art that is in my backyard.  I have a big backyard; it's called North Hollywood and is located in the valley area of Los Angeles.  Most of these pictures were taken along the bike path next to Chandler Boulevard.

And of course, there is Alfred E Newman!
