Merry Christmas!

Sign of the Times will be back in the New Year

Friday Bench: Boom

Outside a restaurant serving Asian food, the street furniture and planting is styled in an appropriate way.

Victoria Street Art

A mural depicting some of the key touristy elements of Victoria. The little ferry boats always made us smile and it’s good to see public planting highlighted for once!

Snoqualmie Street Art

Guess what’s produced in this area of the States.

Friday Bench: Mount Rainier

Inside the Visitor Centre at Paradise, Mount Rainier. OK, it’s more of a settee rather than a bench

Street Art of The Dalles

Meanwhile, in downtown The Dalles, Oregon, the Mural Society there has chosen to depict scenes from the Lewis Clarke expedition in the Historic District, making for a charming mix of mural and old fashioned looking shops. The scene also gives an idea of just how spectacular the Columbia River gorge is in this area.

Seattle Street Art

One of the most noticeable aspects of our trip to the Pacific North West and Canada was the amount of murals found on the streets. Here’s one I found just a short walk away from the Farmers’ Market I visited in Seattle.

Friday Bench: Olympic Sculpture Park II

At Pike Place Bagels

Waiting for the Monorail
