Over two years ago, when Cool San Diego Sights was relatively new, I blogged about some amazing public art near the Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego. I provided just a brief glimpse, really.

It’s hard to believe, but this photo blog of San Diego now contains over 800 posts, and features a vast universe of wonderful art–not to mention other random cool stuff! Click some links that look interesting if you’d like to explore! Have fun!
Downtown San Diego has been my home for many years. My online activities reflect my love for writing, blogging, walking and photography.

Quite impressive. The mosaics are beautiful and seem to capture a moment in time, or 12,000 years to be more exact. –Curt
