Nelson's Fleet

A wall portrait of Nelson Mandela that's been on Cherokee Street for a couple of years. A Ford Focus is parked next to it. I liked the non-sequitur the two make, the colors and the strong feeling of perspective.                     

Icons Of Cherokee Street

Seen on the walls and windows of Cherokee Street during the parade and festival. The portrait of Nelson Mandela is new since I last stopped by, possibly put up after his death. So beaming, so charming for a man who faced such harsh challenges.

The second image is harder to understand. It's the window of a home. What's the relation between the word Jesus and the elegantly dressed boy?  Is it a heartbreaking memorial or just two things important to the homeowner? We'll never know.
