Large and elaborate Christmas decoration on Spring Vale Ave in McLean

Is that “accessible to the general public” or does a MAMIL/MAWIL risk getting shot while trespassing on private property in a “stand your ground” jurisdiction?

thank you, #publicartfinder, for promoting me to look up this installation I’ve passed a zillion times. I never new that the lights coordinated with the ambient soundscape. I kept waiting for them to turn blue again to better match my bike… Now I know why I couldn’t figure out the order to the changing pattern of colors–they had to match the traffic sounds!

Actual underpass condition today is a far cry from this artist rendering in GGW 2015 piece

Stellar submission!

1 Extra point for sharing the research on the art installation and 2 Extra points for waiting out traffic to get the light pattern to match your bike color (even tho that was a fail)!

3 xtra point total!

Can you please include the jurisdictions with your cross streets as you may be in multiple DMV (and beyond) jurisdictions across state lines on any given day.

Merci beaucoup [emoji1374]

Private home, 1218 Jamacia St. NE. Visible from the street but some trespassing may have occurred to get the photo.

New2Me art outside Diament Jewelry at 51 District Square SW, Washington, DC. This woman-led business has another store in Shirlington Village that opened in June 2022.

I was looking for Spliff Nation Dispensary at the Wharf DC for #420 and did not find it. But luckily, riding and seeking paid back in the form of public art.

There’s so much great art on the MBT now, much of it new!

I took a pic of a bit of it today. Didn’t get it straight. Friends were waiting. I know Boomer or Serdar woulda done a better job, but I think it’s still pretty.

Besides, symmetry is overrated [emoji2957][emoji38][emoji1744]

I like this photo the way it is, Nadine. Good shot!

Unexpected find while riding through Vienna. This is on the sidewalk in front of the Freeman Store & Museum on Church St, just north of where the W&OD crosses.

1/5/23 rainbow in NoMa, across the street from the Florida Ave Trader Joe’s

A sculpture? A bench? A rainbow! Amidst omnipresent construction, tall buildings, and traffic.
(Extra exciting to find rainbow art because when I started out on my bike commute today there was a microshower that brought an actual real rainbow in the sky!)
