Unexpected Face #26
This purse is broadcasting wide-eyed goofiness.
The straw hat is rather cock-eyed, too.

Meaningful Mural - Street Art #38
I took this photo on March 22, 2021.
This mural is beautifully created. The artistry is magnificent!
The meaning of the red handprint on the woman's mouth is to bring attention to the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
I had previously taken a picture of this wall on December 18, 2018.
I think at the time I was just interested in the "abandoned cafe" aspect of the building.

Club One Neon
This casino has been operating in downtown Fresno for years.
Recently it moved to another location, but it is still going strong.
I've never been inside it, though.

Shadow Rays
I am not certain what cause those "shadow rays."
Maybe the mountains? Or the clouds?
I love sunrises and sunsets. The colors can be so vivid!

2309
2309 used to be an antique mall... or... an emporium of vintage shops.
I think it is closed now; but I always liked the design of this neon sign.

Inyo and Van Ness
At the corner of Inyo and Van Ness in downtown Fresno.
The prominent multi-story structure with the arched parapet in the center of the frame is the beautiful, historic Hotel Californian.
The concrete spirals are a municipal parking structure.
You can almost see Joe's Steak House just to the left of the city bus.

The Shape of What Remains
You know how, when you close your eyes, you get that after-image on the inside of your eyelids of whatever you were just looking at?
That's what this empty sign is like.
At one time, something was advertised there. Some neon beacon drew the eye and let onlookers know what they would find in the business nearby.
Now, nothing. I cannot even guess from the shape of what remains what business was being advertised.
One hopes never to become an empty sign; but that the lights will keep on shining so all can see what is burning inside one's heart.
Too much?

Street Art #37
I wish I had taken the time to get out of my car and get some closer pictures of this artwork so I could see more of the details. I was driving through this neighborhood during my lunch hour, so I just quickly snapped a photo. But you can zoom in when you click on the pic!
