    This was taken in Bethesda, Maryland. I loved both the tiles and the fence.

    I love it when cities make an effort to beautify like that. It would be a pleasure to walk past that wall.

    This is very nice - we have some efforts underway to "artify" Houston as well, but as always there is some debate over whether it is "art" (which is legal and welcome) or "graffiti" (which is illegal, and can subject the VICTIM to a citation and fine.)

    No question about this, though - those tiles are beautiful!

    Happy WW!

    Oh, this is beautiful, and I love the way you framed the tiles with the bars. You've got a great eye, Candace!

    That's very pretty. Public art really beautifies the city and I'm happy to see that more of them are encouraging it.

    I like the way one pattern is superimposed upon the other.

    I like the clean simple lines of the fence and mosaic. They line up well.

    Lovely tiles. I'm a big fan of street art.

    Thanks for mentioning that you saw my portrait as a bit of a period piece - that's exactly the look I was going for :).
