The red to the left of it looks like South America from Buenos Aires on south. <br /><br />With Africa and South America next to each other, there is a certain resemblance to Gondwanaland. Liberate Gondwanaland? Except in the Gondwanaland juxtaposition, Africa is much further north than in the gas tank panting.<br /><br />Ho? No way.<br /><br />Maybe I would see if differently were I to drive by it.<br /><br />https://www.theboxerboston.com/blog/legend-rainbow-swash/<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GondwanaRichardJohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490819511630683969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-49849645537194750072019-11-23T10:57:50.856-05:002019-11-23T10:57:50.856-05:00C.B.

I think if you drive by it and see the randomness of everything else compared to the precision and placement of this, it's unmistakable. Plus, as I said, she always had a popular culture insertion and a message, so if it's not Ho, what is the other possible message?Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-89487590854015646082019-11-22T19:33:57.191-05:002019-11-22T19:33:57.191-05:00So apparently the original tank got destroyed and ...So apparently the original tank got destroyed and the current one (maybe) intentionally toned down the blue stripe, which made me feel better that I'd never seen it:<br />https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/rainbow-swashbs kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871717971078952304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-26639244666946415392019-11-22T16:26:48.084-05:002019-11-22T16:26:48.084-05:00I don't see any resemblance to Ho Chi Minh.I don't see any resemblance to Ho Chi Minh.

I sorta see something there on the blue stripe that looks vaguely like a face with a long beard but I couldn't tell you if it's really Ho or just a generic old-fashioned stereotypical Oriental face. I'm tempted to say that the people who DO see Ho are also wishing to see something that may or may not be present, and who's to say she's not messing with them, too?<br /><br />From a technical aspect I wouldn't put too much stock in trying to discern how clean the edges are. Something of that size reduced down to a photographic image is going to make the lines look a lot cleaner than they really are.Christopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396671757183163171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-6345758398557102592019-11-22T14:42:18.965-05:002019-11-22T14:42:18.965-05:00I don't see it.

I don't see it, and I doubt I'd recognize his image elsewhere.

Whenever there's any kind of irregularity in the painting edge, there's a streak in the white nearby--except by the irregularities that make up the face.<br />It wasn't obvious who it was without your prompting--I'd have been able to drive by it for years and never notice.<br />But, yes, it looks like her hero. O'Sullivan's Law at play again--with an organization with social goals.
