Industrial park…

On mornings when traffic on the freeway into downtown is slow, I often take a meandering route through the City’s Bayview neighborhood, which hugs the industrial eastern bay coastline. On one of these mornings, I noticed a small, out-of-place sign for a coastal park. So, I veered from my route, only to enter a pre-dawn apocalyptic world.

I’ve been drawn back to this unlikely spot several times, including this morning, when I knew the early morning light would really bring out the colors in the graffiti art.

Literally, every surface–from building to bench to fence to rock–is covered with the most elaborate street art. They even painted the tree! I will certainly go back for more, but enjoy these initial images.
