Here are a few sights that make pedestrians walking down the sidewalk look twice! I know they attracted the attention of my camera! I took all of these photos in downtown San Diego. A couple of the images I captured recently; others are old pics I’ve been holding onto for several months.
Bold painting on a building of someone singing the “blues”.This door might tempt people walking down the sidewalk. A nearby sign reads: WELCOME You Love Happy Fun.A cool dragon mural in the small Chinatown section of downtown San Diego. By artist Mirto Golino.This freaky alien seems to leap from a weathered street art utility box.What appear to be three sacred geometry mandalas decorate a sidewalk. These and others can be seen in various locations around San Diego.Funky, eye-catching urban art brightens the entrance to a dance studio. I believe it was painted by artist Fizix.A guy hanging out in front of the Hard Rock Hotel in the Gaslamp made these three dimensional origami stars using scraps of paper. I was told each one takes about two hours to make.
Downtown San Diego has been my home for many years. My online activities reflect my love for writing, blogging, walking and photography.

Amazing what some people can do with a piece of paper.

It checks out who really reads signs, and who doesn’t…
