    This mural on the side of Security Public Storage, 5223 River Rd, Bethesda, MD 20816, seemed particularly appropriate for the first day of Freezing Saddles, since it celebrates the Capital Crescent Trail and includes a cyclist. And my bicycle is doing its best impression of a disco ball in honor of New Year’s.

    Mural in Old Town, corner of King and N Alfred Str.

    An artist from Los Angeles El Mac painted this mural mostly at nights last summer. According to the building owner β€œit was amazing to see the progression each morning.”

    A surprising number of murals in Reston! I submitted this one for #scavhunt. If you’re playing both Photo Scavenger Hunt and Public Art Finder, today you got a two-for-the-price-of-one!

    This mural pays homage to the ancient Mayans, who played this game Tlachko, and the game was said to mirror the progression of the sun across the heavens. Since this is a new calendar year, I thought this was very appropriate. Also submitted for scavenger hunt, although as the sponsor that prize, I am not eligible to win.

    I love this sort of art – making public utilities more beautiful. This one is in the parking lot by the Riverdale MARC station.
