A Penny-farthing

This week (June 20 to June 27), I will be posting photos that I took last Sunday in downtown San Juan Bautista.

That there bicycle skeleton leaning against the antique store is a penny-farthing. Sorry. I didn't take a really close look to see if it is an actual penny-farthing frame or a metal sculpture of the penny-farthing.

Penny-farthing. Sounds like a coin with a gas problem.

The San Juan Bautista Fiesta Rodeo Mural

This week (June 20 to June 27), I will be posting photos that I took last Sunday in downtown San Juan Bautista.

This fading mural sits in somebody's back yard. It depicts the San Juan Bautista Fiesta and Rodeo that used to take place every year since at least the early 1900s. The mural was done in the 1970s by artist Ernesto Valles, who also did the Hollister mural on Fifth Street.

Here's a closer look at a section of this San Juan mural.

Knock, Knock

A fixture—a knocker, I believe—on the door of the Orient Express, the Chinese Restauarnt in town. The address is on Washington Street.

Heavy Metal Cock-a-Doodle-doo

When is a chicken in San Juan Bautista not running wild?

When it is an item in a gift shop in that town.

Back Fence Gazing
