Greetings to all.  This week is all about walking about Austin.  The first
image is from a retaining wall across from St. Edwards College:

Normally this mural is covered by plants but the garden center cleaned up
the growth one day:

You saw this image before when it was on a fence blocking sight lines to a
downtown hotel.  The hotel commissioned another mural and painted over the
original copy.  Some artist moved it to a fence blocking a residential
construction sight:

South Austin is a weird place.  South Austin refers to land bordered by the
lake to the north, Ben White Blvd to the south, I-35 to the east and maybe
the main line railroad that bisects Austin.  We are in the midst of
building mid 7 figure houses and significant commercial building and yet we
have long time residents being weird:

Bouldin Creek cafe continues to provide visually interesting graphic images:

Just a nice graphic on a possibly vacant building:

All the best.
