25th Street Mosaic

There is a new community art work in San Pedro. I found out that I've been pronouncing this name wrong (not like a local) all along. I'm told it is said like " San Peedro" This is a section of Los Angeles near the ports and Long Beach. The neighborhood has a wonderful and fabulous character. This mosaic mural just opened on June 30th. There are many many little bits of local history embedded into the mural. One of my favorites is: "I remember the good old days, when I was neither good or old"-Anthony DeMaria 19208-2017.

Here is a link for more information ( https://www.dailybreeze.com/2018/07/24/the-history-of-san-pedro-is-being-glued-tile-by-tile-onto-a-200-foot-wall-on-25th-street/ )
It's a great shot - I love how you are so wonderfully framed.

Nicely done, I'm embarrassed to admit how long it took me to realize that the centre is your reflection and not a break in the mosaic with you on the other side, I was trying to figure out who took the photo...duh!

Yes. That pronunciation is correct. Nice mosaic and photo. Do we finally get to see a little bit what you really look like. From your profile picture, I always assumed you bore a striking resemblance to a pair of high top sneakers.

@robz Thank you so much for the fav. I found a few pieces of glass in this. It is a work that needs to be appreciated over time, so many little gems in it.

@themusketeers Thank you so much.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond What a wonderful comparison, I am very humbled. Hazel's work is always so amazing.

@eudora Community is more than we can ever express.

@gardencat Hiding in plain sight, my kind of selfie.

@moonbi Thank you a great deal.

@mbrutus Shoes really aren't me. I'd really buy a book over a new pair of shoes anyday. I may have to work on a new and updated shoe-shot, maybe a selfie with shoes???

@sdutoit Most grateful for the fav. Thank you so much.

@tstb13 Very thankful for the fav. I let just a bit of me show through.

@haskar Thank you so much. I would love to have the time to truly explore this mural.

@samae Most grateful for the fav, the mural is so amazing.

@yaorenliu Thank you kindly, found just a enough glass to have fun with.

@jernst1779 Thank you so much for the fav. A selfie in pieces.

@olivetreeann I think art should be part of a community, it brings people together and shares so much.
