Totem Pole House

This amazing home is covered with colorful totem poles and carvings hand-made by the older gentleman who lives within. There are even works in progress within a few feet of the sidewalk. A tall chain-link fence surrounds the entire property and provides safety and privacy for the residents, although the house is on a major arterial just steps away from the town center and the famous murals.

I was lucky enough to catch the artist sitting outside when I came by, and he gave permission to take photos.
