1914 – Charlie Chaplin stayed in this hotel, which is now a scum bucket.

I did a Post on the mural of Charlie Chaplin that resides in the parking lot.

It is a special building with special murals.

Do you think the harmonica player depicted above is Junior Wells?

I was fortunate to shoot this “paper doll” of Charlie Chaplin on a balcony, but it was almost a storm when I did. His effigy had blown over.

This 16 year old mural on Henderson Hi-way is on the side wall of Roxy Lanes, a bowling alley.

It’s scarred, peeling & crumbling from the brutal winters. It’s constantly bleaching under the intense prairie sun. I love it.

I took these shots over a year ago. I wonder what it looks like now?

Adventures in Graf w/Sherrie – “The Mother Lode”

It was a really, really very big head. It was on a bigger wall.

MLode #1

Sherrie & I noticed the Graf craning out from behind 7 foot fencing. We discovered the Art was on a massive warehouse wall in an empty parking lot.

MLode #2

I saw the gate was unlocked, but it wouldn’t budge. Sherrie took care of it.

MLode #3

What a fun discovery!

More of this warehouse parking lot’s walls are future coming on GLaM.

In an attempt to display this Graf Conglomeration’s hugeness, the little black figure is me.

I love Ottawa, and I love my blog pals. Many of you are bicycling enthusiasts. So if you visit Ottawa check out Foster’s Ottawa’s oldest bike shop.

Special Thanks to my Assistant Designer “Zena” (and her puppy) who drove me hither and yon to collect outdoor art.
