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.

MLode #7

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.

American Woman

“American Woman” was a huge hit, and “The Guess Who” was from Winnipeg. That was before Lenny Kravitz gave it new breath.
