Ocean Beach is peppered with an assortment of picturesque murals, particularly on and around Newport Avenue.
Walk in any direction in the area and you'll spot multiple murals on walls and electric utility boxes. These vibrant pieces of public art include abstract depictions of OB landmarks and personalities, intricate renderings of storybook characters, and even a visual summation of the history of electricity.
The murals somehow manage to alternate between eye-catching and camouflaged: some times you can't miss them, and other times they seem to blend right in to the general visual magnificence of the neighborhood.
In this episode of OB in HD, we point the Canon HV30 at murals near Newport Avenue. In coastal San Diego's classic May Gray fashion, the morning's skies were overcast. But the murals still brimmed with color - as well as an unmistakable OB spirit.
