I found this bustop in the Barelas neighborhood. Barelas is a 500 year old Albuquerque neighborhood that for many years was neglected. It’s back and thriving. Click here to read more about Barelas.
I don’t know who the artist of this magnificent tile work is but the project is sponsored by the City of Albuquerque. To see the back of the bus stop, which is also tile work, check back tomorrow!
