This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Hands."
A large street mural on a building in downtown Durham, NC. I don't know who the artist is but there are lots of hands (and hand holding) in the painting.
A sweet little painting and message on the back of the car that belongs to North Carolina folk artist Sam "The Dot Man" McMillan.
And here's the artist Sam "The Dot Man" with his hand in his pocket. :)
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.
Have a great weekend everyone. Happy PhotoHunting!

Annie, that mural is fantastic! And I love the painting on Sam's truck (his painted clothing, however, is another story......)

The mural is very cool, like they painted it with the "hands" theme in mind. And the Dot Man is cool with his message. Happy hunting!

Hi Annie, very cool take and photo selections for this week's theme. I like the mural a lot and they look like they are holding hands there too. Love the saying on Sam's "the Dot Man's" truck. So true. Great photos!
