I was in a parking lot in Mill Valley when I looked up and saw this mural staring back at me. This is a Zio Ziegler mural and it sits on Cine Arts at Sequoia Theater’s outer walls.
I took several pictures of the mural, trying to cover as much of it as I could. It was packed with lots of details.

Yes, that is certainly mysterious. Rather beautiful

Have a good week, Bertie. π

Yes, there’s a lot for us to interpret, here. The more I look at this mural, the more the mystery, the more I like it, too. π
Thank you, Bleubeard and Elizabeth. π
There is much room for interpretation, I like it!
Absolutely!
Me too.
Have a superb week, Iris. π
Aptly named for sure, so much to see there. I also like the other murals in San Francisco, specially the big fish.
Thanks for contributing Dee.
Seriously — so much to see. So much mystery.
