From a travel journal

For those who traveled to a recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society, here are some snapshots of murals in downtown of Anchorage. Some of these murals are visible from the main streets (like the first one, Denai'na mural by Crystal Worl, across the street from the convention center). Other are hidden in the back-alleys (second photo showing walruses by Richard Zeigler - Ziggy). Third photo shows Ziggy working on his new project - in memory of  people who  died on streets of Anchorage from freezing cold. He is an interesting character. The last photo shows the Alaska’s Marine Life Mural by Robert  Wyland, who created 100+ murals around the world showing whales.
