Skirting the northern edge of Takoma Park, not far from my home are a series of 5 little two story circa World War II apartments Each unit was originally designed with 4 apartments. Today they've been converted into offices and small businesses for the most part. They feature services by and for the Latino community in the area, and three of them where painted with these beautiful murals last summer. The bottom image is a law office and you can see kids playing futbol on a plain surrounded by mountains. I've seen these places in both Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The middle is a Chiropractor's office and features people in a park with a waterfall. The artist adeptly carries the railing of the wheelchair ramp into a bridge crossing the stream. And further he places a person on the opposite wall so that her image appears from this angle to be ascending the ramp--so clever. The top image is an underwater setting of a Caribbean coral reef. Y todos eras muy bonitas!
