I’m back from a week in Arizona of family time and looking at rental houses and areas (too early to rent yet but we need to get started), then a week of relaxation and family fun in Pasadena. I hope you enjoyed the two weeks of photos from “my” park, McDowell Forest Preserve in Naperville, Illinois. I do most of my walking in the park when I’m at home, but in Pasadena, I walked a lot back and forth between our daughter’s condo and Old Town Pasadena where I saw this power box a number of times. You get several doors for the price of one box.

This, that and the other thing 
These are pretty doors. What are they for?
Access to the electrical box. I love that these are being decorated in so many cities now.

Oh yes, that is true. I found some here in Melbourne too. Turning an ugly thing to a work of art.
So colourful!!
I know. I love it.

Talented artist. 🙂 No wonder Arizona is calling to you – multiple generations of loved ones.
I always have time for street art doors – two pleasures in one! – such a nice way to brighten up utility boxes.
Brilliant. Best one I’ve seen yet, Janet.
Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did, Jean. 🙂
pretty cool!
I’m loving seeing so many of these boxes being used as displays for art. Livens things up a lot.

Love it. They have started painting our power boxes too. Much more fun to look at.
I agree!
Very imaginative!
With so many boxes like this out there, there’s an enormous amount of art that can be displayed.

Love this cheerful style of painting – perfect for street painting:) True, the weather is still nice, but to be in LA area right now with 6 fires burning, is less pleasant.
I saw smoke hanging over the city when I arrived, but we only noticed it once while I was there, for which I’m thankful. I’m also thankful for the firefighters and that so far, so few houses and lives have been lost.
Yes I agree, smoke hanging over a city is a nasty sight! Am pleasantly surprised this time around the firefighters had more success:)
Me, too!
These are fun, Janet. I enjoyed the McDowell series very much.
Glad you enjoyed the doors, Dan, and thanks for the feedback on the McDowell series. It’s close to my heart. 😉
Hah! This is cute. I love it when someone takes something mundane and makes it extroidinary. Thanks for sharing.
I like that, too. There are getting to be more and more of these boxes and I’m enjoying them greatly.

I love this form of street art — and this box is a stunner!
I’m with you, Su.
So amazing, Janet. Such wonderful artistic talent.
I love this relatively new type of art. It really improves the scenery in a city.
Wow!! What great colors. Such a nice find.
Pat
Thanks, Pat. Sounds as though you like it as much as I do. 😉
janet
I do, lol.
That is so cool. I love how they take something that is a bit of an urban eyesore and turn it into something beautiful.
I agree, Norm.
Love it! I hear Pasadena is a wonderful city. It looks like it!
It is. They live about a mile and a half from old Pasadena so I could easily walk there every day.
Love it! 🙂 🙂
So many of these great doors now. It really livens up the city landscape. I believe you shared a large number of these not long ago.
I love that idea, decorating the power boxes! Very colorful and happy. =)
I’d love to see every box decorated!
janet
Great idea to cover this box with art… and pretty good art….
I think so, too, Yvette. There were other decorated boxes as well.
😊
It’s a great way to liven up a cement city. We have a lot of painted boxes in Toronto!
It’s a trend I love, Resa.
We don’t ave this where I live, but I’d love to have that here. I first got to know the phenomenon from this picture: https://www.facebook.com/artbypan/photos/a.433443256805594/885740024909246/?type=3&theater
