railcar, blank canvas
stories told in brilliant hues
street alley treasures
senryu by M. Nakazato LaFreniere
These railcars were in the lot behind the Old Pueblo Trolley museum.
250 E. 36th Street, Tucson, AZ
Just walk past the building on 36th.
These were the first one’s I saw lost on 36th.




Then I saw this one. The two murals are at 90 degrees to each other. This one was commissioned.



Darn, just realized I didn’t have a long shot of the whole second mural. Also there was another mural back there I couldn’t get a shot of. I’m hoping when I go back to the museum, they’ll let me in the back storage yard to see the ones I can’t get to. I’m also curious about the project that paid for the one mural — if it was part of a larger project in case there are other murals. We’ll see.

January 8: robin egg blue

“Your contribution can come in any form – art, poetry, flash fiction, a tale of a miscellaneous memory – anything, the only caveat – it has to be inspired by the color of the day.”

Note: the blue around the Buddha, I think looks like robin egg blue
