Exploring Berkeley and Oakland neighborhoods on a Vespa lets me stop anytime I see an interesting mural and take a picture with my phone. I wish I had the time and diligence to write down the names of the great artists who painted those murals. I apologize to the artists. If you recognize your art in one of my pictures, please contact me, and I will be glad to add the credits. Enjoy!
