CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[Gone in 60]

Well, they say that beauty is all around you, you just have to find it. Headed out of town tomorrow, so I grabbed a quick ride today to see if I could find some murals around my area. They're all over the place.

The first one is a mural that was painted last year on the side of a local liquor store, showing some of the highlights of the Old Town section of our city. The Orange High School logo is around the corner.

The two tall murals are by the artist Shag, and adorn the parking garage for a new development in the city of Tustin, on the former site of the Tustin Marine Corps Air Station. Its most distinctive features are two very large blimp hangars that housed coastal defense blimps during WW2. The hangars are very historic, and have been used in many movies since. Next time your plane is on final approach to John Wayne, look out to the left and they'll be the biggest things you see. You can see the front of one of them here. It happens to be across the street from our local Costco. The artwork on the parking garage is clearly themed to the area's past.

The other murals are on the sides of some local taco shops, and a surf shop.
