Roy’s Station – Bamboo Fountain
A great place to be in Japantown. A great place to enjoy and appreciate from. A great place to sit with a cup of coffee while absorbing the world before walking again amongst it.
Cozy in the snow… of the window
All are warm and cozy behind the window and its snowy-season art at Just Breakfast restaurant.

Grand View Restaurant
Looking over San Jose, a little ways up the side of Mt. Hamilton, is a wonderful restaurant with a mighty Grand View of our city and valley. The food, the experience, the view, the smells of nature, and the smells of everyone’s food as it goes by, the time to contemplate the world before us, the room and the beauty for ones mind to expand within… wow; presence on that patio is an amazing opportunity. And after a wonderful experience, you may even take the chance to practice night photography after an evening dinner on that patio. While this photo is more narrowly cropped, from the Grand View restaurant you will see the entire Silicon Valley.
El Monstro – Mural
I really enjoy this mural, El Monsrto, the monster! It is photo realistic and playful and I can remember my kids pretending and playing when I see it. I enjoy this for what I think and for how I feel when I appreciate it.
Technically impressive is that this was done with spray paint. The artist painted this as part of the Pow! Wow! San Jose 2019 event when numerous artists put up public art works in one week in collaboration with property owners and sponsors. The three years we have had this event have brought a lot of art to our city.
Above is a close up of the painting. Like analog-pixels of the art, up close you can see individual paints that went into the photo realistic effect that you get from stepping back. Wonderful!
