Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. MURALB_200531_01.JPG: The Watcher Artist: Words Beats and Life 2009 In 2009, Words Beats and Life and the mentoring program Albus Cavus worked together to paint a mural at the park on the corner of 14th Street and Girard Street. Entitled “The Watcher,” this mural was designed to reflect the history and future of the park. The park has evolved into a multi generational meeting ground where kids of all ages come out to play basketball while the more elderly gather to enjoy the park as well. The central image of two eyes represents wisdom and the role that many of the elders of the community play; they are the watchers, caretakers, and guiders of the next generation of residents.

Wikipedia Description: Albus Cavus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albus Cavus is a collective of artists and educators who transform public spaces with creativity. Originally, it was established as an underground art gallery and presentation space in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States. Albus Cavus, which means "white cave" in Latin, was originally started in September 2002 as a small basement exhibit space that gradually grew into a large artist collective that spans far beyond New Jersey. By forming a network of relationships that includes the city government, schools, and businesses, it provides the artists with projects that benefit the local community. Public art installations and murals beautify the neighborhoods and provide the residents with the feeling of ownership and responsibility for their surroundings.

Albus Cavus aims to make art readily accessible to all. This simple idea at the beginning has become the primary mission. The artists working with Albus Cavus recognize the new needs for modern art that educates and enlightens the audience. And the viewers do not play the passive role of critics but become actively involved in the artwork creation.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11. The child president's handling of the pandemic was a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and dramatically increasing infections and deaths here.The BLM protests started in June, made all the worse by the child president's inability to have any empathy for anyone other than himself. Then of course he tried to steal the election in November. What a year! Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. The farthest distance I traveled after that was about 40 miles. I only visited sites in four states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and DC. That was the least amount of travel I had done since 1995. Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
