One of the greatest delights on our recent trip to Florida was a visit to Wynwood Walls. You can read all about Wynwood Walls here. This urban street art gallery is an absolute must see if you are ever in or near Miami! Some of you will recognize the work of Eduardo Kobra. My only regret is that I did not take the time to note all of the artists that appear in this post. Bravo to all the artists and this amazing art district in Miami!

For this post: back to Salvation Mountain, Niland, CA. There are 7 or 8 vehicles at this crazy, wonderfully offbeat artistic ode to God, His love and, the Bible.
just needs a new seat
The interior of one of the trucks at Salvation Mountain in California. It’s a bit of a fixer upper, but, I am sure a good mechanic will have no trouble. Thanks for stopping buy.
light in the darkness
The biggest take away from my trip to Haiti was the reality that light shines amidst the darkness. We met missionaries, pastors, entrepreneurs and nuns that are bringing hope, practical help and light to Haiti.
The Apparent Project is a bright light in Haiti. Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with this life giving and life changing work: http://apparentproject.org/
On the homepage of The Apparent Project you will read: “Arts advocating for the poor.” This is a remarkable work that is providing skills, employment and, literally, life, to families.
Be sure and check out The Apparent Project Party Box page on the site: http://apparentproject.org/party-boxes/
Thank you!
where’s carlos 2
Not much of a challenge here, but I have to find some way to justify sharing all these picture of The Bean 🙂 Just one more after this one…. I promise.
head shot
Taken just moments before this giant head gobbled up those poor people, who were just minding there own business, out for a stroll on a sunny day in Chicago. Oh the humanity!!!
the face of a city
I have not researched this yet to know the artist(s) or project, but there are at least four of these giant heads in and around Millennium Park in Chicago. This one makes a nice addition to the skyline, don’t you think?
gotta see the bean
Another shot of the Bean that everyone just has to see. If you are ever in Chicago-land, Millennium Park is must see, and so is the Bean.
calder’s flamingo 2
One more shot of Calder’s Flamingo in Chicago.
dustin and andrea
So my oldest daughter got married this past weekend and, as father of the bride (and one of the pastors of the wedding), it would not have been appropriate for me to walk around with my camera taking all kinds of pictures, even though that is exactly what I wanted to do 😉 I did manage to take one picture with my phone. This is an image of the artwork that my colleague (and other pastor in the wedding) created during a song, and while I took the couple through communion and their vows. It was a weekend of love, fun, celebration and, beautiful artistry.
