Dachs6ParticipantJanuary 26, took a little ride to Bopser, in the forest on the south side of Stuttgart. Bagged this neat bit modern art in Höhenpark Killesberg on my return which took me through the city and back up through another forest I used to ride in quite a bit.

Dachs6ParticipantJanuary 28, on the backside of Gottlieb-Daimler-Schule I, in Sindelfingen (just 3 minutes from my hotel), I saw this mural. When the adults complain about kids and their screens…and, then they put the characters from the video games to be on the school wall…

Dachs6ParticipantJanuary 29, last ride in Stuttgart. Am Kleiner Schloßplatz sits this rather unique looking iron sculpture. I share it with you.

On the other side, it also has a mile marker for Nome, Alaska. Found at intersection of N Rockingham St and Virginia Ave, approaching Minor Hill, Arlington VA.

I have no idea what holiday these people are celebrating with the two skeletons – one headless and wearing a Santa Claus suit – and a skeleton dog with a leash made of Christmas lights. But I’m here for it!

Boomer CyclesParticipantMy bike leaning (in the bottom foreground) against “Aim for the Stars” #yardart at Friends of Guest House, One East Luray Avenue, Alexandria VA where they believe your past does not define your future. And they help women successfully reenter the community from incarceration.

I think this was near the L’Enfant Plaza Metro on 7th ST
Technically, it was on a ride on 1/31 AND 2/1. It was taken at 11:55 on 1/31, but I’m uploading on 2/1 because there are like 5 rules and I didn’t know it was one of those “by midnight” deals, but it was too pretty to pass up. So, if you can count it on the day the ride ended, that would be good.

Murals at the Alethia Tanner Park on MBT
From Wikipedia –
Alethia Tanner was an American educator and a leader in the African American community of Washington, D.C. in the early nineteenth century. She purchased the freedom of 18 enslaved people and helped create The Bell School, the first school for free black children in Washington, D.C.
Happy Black History Month!

I have no idea where this is located, since I was thoroughly lost when I found it. But it was definitely New2Me.
