From near the Takoma (DC) metro station. It’s called “From a Model to a Rainbow” by Sam Gilliam.

Pretty darn cool.
One of dc’s most famous artists.
Not sure how or why, but putting up this mural seems to have done a lot to discourage graffiti artists from hitting this wall. There used to always be tags way up high. Not anymore.
I love Sam Gilliam’s work.
