Of course, one can’t really “smell” murals. But, there are so much gorgeous public art in San Francisco that is easy to take for granted. I was reminded of this via Klick, an iphone app that allows users to post their photos and also see what other people are posting near their geographic location. I find myself using the “near me” feature to discover new places of interest around the city. This week, on my bus ride to work, a whole collection of mural images popped up in the Mission. If you search for “mural + san francisco” on Flickr, you get a variety of mural images from the whole city.
And, if you have a little more time, Precita Eyes offers a walking tour of murals–more than 60 murals in 10 blocks–for $12 to $5.
