What a colorful and picturesque place, and as always, wonderfully captured!
Wonderful street art. Love how you've put together this collection of images.
NICE pictures.Sorry to tell you, it's time for a new hat. BONNYE
Pretty cool stuff. Hope you stopped at Clarion alley, too. Endless photo ops there, if you like street art (between Valencia and Mission). TF
