New Pictures of Urban Art Trail Mosaic











I went back and took some more pictures of the mosaic.  I also took some pictures of the individual tiles.  I posted two versions of one of the faces because I did some substantial editing of it and wanted you to be able to see the original.

Urban Art Trail Mosaic



Charlie got me interested in the various forms of street art in San Diego. This is another thing that I would like to reshoot later. It is a beautiful mosaic made up of individually painted tiles. I need to look into the various forms of street art who are doing them and how they are related.

Love Pidgens


These are two pidgins sitting on an exit sign. For some reason my camera was set to a very low resolution. Maybe if I go back there I will get another shot.

Links to Sonjiala's Articles Appearing in the City Times

Finally City Times, the campus news paper for City College of San Diego has published its last two issues. They have three wonderful articles by Sonjiala.



Mortenson serves 'Three Cups of Tea' to audience

This is article is about Greg Mortenson who wrote Three Cups of Tea about his efforts to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is such an inspirational story. It is also the book for the citywide book club, One Book, One San Diego. I really think that the book club is a wonderful idea.

BOOK REVIEW: Escape themed classics selected for Spring Break reading

In this Article she reviews Jonathan Livingston Seagull and The Little Prince. When we were children my mother used to read The Little Prince to my siblings and myself. Sonjiala introduced Joathan Livingston Seagull to me when we were first dating. So, both books hold special meanings for me.

Digging through time: Penasquitos Canyon serves as lab for City College archaeology students

This article is about Sonjiala's archeology class. It seems so neat. I am so glad she is enjoying it.

Some zanjas are still be used today. The LA Times has an article on the end of the zanjas and the zanjeros who opperate them. You can read it here
"A way of life drying up."

Sonjiala also designed the website for the campus' new Peace Studies Program's Conference of International Relief Organizations. I think it has provided an excellent opportunity to display how far her web design skills have advanced.
