I paid a visit to what is known as Chicano Park in Barrio Logan in San Diego. It's located right where the I-5 and the base of the Coronado bridge meet:

I shot these with the Nikon 14-24 2.8

    Good job on grabbing these interesting shots. I'm rather surprised that the graffiti hounds haven't gotten all over them.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I found out recently after the visit that my aunt and uncle played a role in the history of the park.<o:p></o:p>
    At one point during the earthquake retrofit of the bridge footings the murals where in danger of being damaged but after some negotiations with officials they agreed to cover all the murals with plywood to protect them.
    Glad they did
    Thanks<o:p></o:p>
