Weekend Reflection: mural and tiles

After I took a picture of this mural, I noticed it reflected in the tiles on the building across the street.  Since I also love the old tiles that decorate so many of Oakland's buildings, I had to take a picture of this one too.  I like the abstract, watercolorish, fractured quality of the reflection.  But I agree, without an explanation, you don't know what you've got here.  For more reflections, visit James' meme Weekend Reflections.

SF bay at dusk

Downtown Oakland is in the foreground with SF in the background.  You can see one span of the Golden Gate Bridge on the right.  This photo was taken from the Mormon Temple.  The low slung cloud cover  in the background is actually the fog coming in from the ocean.
