This one speaks for itself… simply gorgeous!  Located on Claremont Avenue under the 24 Freeway.

I love the fact that this is a representation of our immediate surroundings… see the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown San Francisco, and Mt. Tamalpais in the background. But most of the mural depicts that which we cannot see. I wonder if the bay really looked this alive in 1977… I wonder how it looks now…
