Around the corner

These three windows were on the other side the garage seen in the below/previous picture. I find it quite admirable that the owner decided to turn a nondescript brick building into a work of art.

*****

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society is offering a new walking tour, this time featuring murals around the Hill, about which they say:

“Capitol Hill is home to many dazzling (some, quite literally) works of art, painted on the exteriors of homes and businesses. Some murals are well known to the community – but we’ve included them because we love them and the Mural Tour wouldn’t be complete without them. Others may be familiar only to their immediate neighbors. Several of them have been on view for decades but many are more recent, including those that are part of the DC Statehood Murals project. A couple are on the sidewalk. One is not actually a mural at all but it’s art on the exterior of a structure, so no reason not to give it the attention it deserves. … Art is always best appreciated in person; particularly true in this case where the scale and placement of the work made photography a challenge.”

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

What a cleaver idea for those windows, but it probably cuts out a lot of light inside.
