 Decided to offer up something wholly different with this one. This is from the same outdoor urban gallery where I shot my image for the Street Stories challenge. But I wanted people to get to see some of the colors here. Felt like this particular composition--with the drinking fountains as a visual anchor point--help contextualize the street art with its many colors in a less chaotic way. Though the chaos of this place is a big part of what makes it so compelling to visit.

I always enjoy a combination of "context" and graffiti or urban murals. Good idea.

Is it still called HOPE gallery?


Yes, indeed. That's the place! Though depending on when you visited, it might have been at a different location. This one is down near the airport, but the original gallery space was located downtown, close to Whole Foods. I believe that original site got bought out by developers.
