green power art box

[lytton ave at emerson st]

a few years ago the city commissioned 

artists to beautify several utility boxes 

around downtown. this one reads: 

wind power / efficient shower

ride share / we care

(over 20% of palo altans get their 

electricity entirely from wind & solar)

 

roots

discover what you're made of

urban planning

 [hamilton ave at gilman st]

yes, that's right: 

a mail drop lane.

also, see if you can find:

a church (we have many flavors here in town)

a bus stop

a public toilet

turning

[alma st at palo alto ave]

every day i'm turning into 

someone new i just hope 

it's someone better too

and 

trees = love

pinstripe

re-cycle

[alma st at hawthorne ave]

reduce, reuse, recycle

renew

it's another plastic year

(and yes, you see, even our recycling 

bins are made from recycled materials)

no turning back

[lytton ave]

here we go into 

the future (as if we didn't 

do that every day). farewell, 

2008.

tunes and wheels

[hamilton ave between bryant & ramona]

believe it or not, this is not another 

photo from the archives: this is city hall 

on the 29th of december. 

not exactly a winter wonderland, is it?
