Fish in Indonesia
Was backpacking for months and can’t remember which island this was in Indonesia! Java?
Fanciful Havanna bird-horse
A fanciful chimera in a secluded stairwell in old city, Havana. Near Plaza Vieja. It is a horse with a bird’s beak and three eyes.
Wangari Maathai
Wangari Maathai remains a national heroine in Kenya, several years after her death and more than a decade after she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (2004) for her work to preserve trees, forests, and green spaces. She stood up for women’s rights and challenged the country’s president (Moi) and patriarchy, suffering beatings and imprisonment in the process. Her legacy is great, but at risk of fading in the face of political pressures and development forces. Symbolically, this graffiti image, which decorated a bus stop on a busy street in Nairobi, has now been covered with political posters related to Kenya’s upcoming presidential election.
Traffic tulips
Tulips on a traffic barrier in Amsterdam, just in time for Spring.
Bird on the Bosphorus
This bird brings a tropical touch to a wall near the Galata Bridge over the Golden Horn in Istanbul, on a street full of merchants selling colorful marine-themed goods (waders, buoys, ropes, etc.).
sad owl for sale
This is actually located on an old military building in the Marin Headlands just north of San Francisco. The property used to be a military base until 1974, when National Park Service gained ownership of the property.
