Thursday, December 27, 2007 – Bad Moon Rising

You might the song, or you might know the lyrics –

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.

It might be the day. A cat, with moon, Echo Park Boulevard, north of Sunset –

A moon on a mural at the entrance to Elysian Park –

The medusa of Sunset Junction –

Next to the medusa, a caged gargoyle –

Nearby, a white flower on a blood red concrete block wall, with barbed wire –

This might help –

Ah heck – coffee will help.

A note on the cat in the first shot –

"Room A" - Elysian Heights Elementary School

1562 Baxter Street at Echo Park

Artists: Denis Fitzpatrick and Michael Chaffey

"Room A" was a cat named after the classroom where she lived (on weekdays) from 1952 to 1968.
