street art along Grand Avenue -- #2 of 2
Oakland, California

Here's a portion of a mural in an alley ... it was colorful but very hard to photograph because the alley, like all alleyways, was so narrow.

I also think that the shadow from the dumpster looks a little like a ship!

That is beautiful! Is that an Oakland scene?

> Oakland scene?

I'm not sure, but I believe this is Venice (Italy).

There is one interesting bit of trivia: we've got gondola service on Lake Merritt in Oakland. It was started by an Italian immigrant.

I thought I had heard of gondolas in Oakland, which is why I asked. But it does look like
Venice.

They had closed down the gondola service on Lake Merritt for a few years, but it started up again due to popular demand. I haven't been on a ride yet, but I've seen the boats. I should try and get a photo one of these days ...
