A really excellent snake, painted on the side of a somewhat dilapidated old house on Alvarado. I think it's roughly a rainbow snake. What I hadn't seen when I was taking the photo, but can see now, is the figure of a semi-human figure - or maybe with a mask? - underneath it, holding something that looks like a short version of a pole that a tightrope walker might carry. This certainly adds to the surreal effect: it's like a Leonora Carrington painting. And when I wound down the window to take it, the entire house was vibrating to the sound of a multitude of barking, yapping dogs.
