Throughout Albuquerque, there are these incredibly lifelike, life-sized statues scattered in various places. If you glance quickly while traveling, you might not realize they’re not real people.
I particularly love the shirt on the skateboarder and the shopping bag in the little girl’s hand. These details make the statues even more lifelike!
I was driving through downtown when I saw this but can’t for the life of me remember where it was. Balloon Fiesta is always so much fun …. except for...
This collaborative mural painted by 48 different artists, according to @wemfer – who was the coordinator for this project, is located on the back of the Historic El Rey Theater....

He seemed startled at seeing a
