Leftover photos: weird, unusual, sometimes amusing!

This morning I’m going through unused photographs that I’ve stored on my computer. Some of the images are years old, others are more recent.

I thought you might enjoy seeing these. They’re from all around San Diego.

The photos I’ve selected are unusual or eye-catching for a variety of reasons. A few are rather amusing!

Can you identify where some of these photographs were taken?

Here they are…

More great art in Oceanside’s Artist Alley!

It’s been well over a year since I visited the Artist Alley in downtown Oceanside. I walked through it again today!

Look what my camera found!

Most of this art must be fairly new, because it was painted in places where earlier murals existed.

(The two murals just inside the entrance of the multi-suite building that opens into the alley might have been there a long time–I don’t know. My first four photos are of those.)

I love how the artwork changes in the alley over time. Every time I walk through it I discover new creations!

Oceanside’s very cool, very magical Artist Alley can be entered directly south of the city library and civic center. Simply cross Pier View Way and you’ll find it!

Fun art outside Replay Toys in North Park!

How can you not love this? Enjoy photos of super fun art outside Replay Toys Boutique in North Park!

In addition to a colorful mural, there’s a column plastered with little plastic toys and figures just outside the front door.

Replay Toys is a paradise for shoppers seeking new and pre-owned quality toys and rare collectibles.

During my last walk through North Park, I paused for a moment to take these pictures…

Photos of All American Car Show in San Diego!

The All American Car Show is being held today in San Diego, at Embarcadero Marina Park North near Seaport Village. I walked through this morning and got some photos of very cool vehicles!

The show features all makes and models of car, van, truck, motorcycle, etc. It is put on by The Mopar Club San Diego every year. The event through a raffle and donations raises money to support Fleet Week San Diego and STEP (Support the Enlisted Project).

STEP provides financial education and assistance to our military’s enlisted heroes. Please check out their website here!

Okay! Time for photos!

More fun new street art in East Village!

A bunch of electrical boxes were recently painted with fun street art in San Diego’s East Village.

I happened to stumble upon another one today. It’s not far from Petco Park, which explains the Padres graphics!

I see it was painted about a month ago by artist Kate Caughey (@kcaughey).

One last walk outside San Diego Comic-Con 2026!

Enjoy one final collection of photographs taken during San Diego Comic-Con 2026!

This long, final walk through the Gaslamp and around the San Diego Convention Center was simply amazing.

Lots of people were still about, checking out the offsite activations that remained open on Sunday. Lots of cosplay still.

I got the impression many fans didn’t want Comic-Con to end. But, alas, it’s Sunday late afternoon as I type this. All good things must come to an end.

It’s Dr. Peepers!

At the Nickelodeon offsite, the slime dunk tank was still active!

Well, that does it for this year’s Comic-Con coverage!

Cool San Diego Sights will now return to my more usual blog posts… after a couple of days rest!
