Tyme Sefari
Haight Street, San Francisco, California

This mural is named after a time travel company in a Ray Bradury short story. An adventurer travels back in time to hunt dinosaurs. By accidentally steping on a butterfly, he alters the future. This mural - 132 feet long by 8 feet high - covered a section of a retaining wall for the Muni Metro tunnel then being built along the Embarcadero waterfront.

Muni wanted themes covering travel, San Francisco, and her history of diverse ethnicities. In this mural our futuristic traveller (seen behind Estria) drops his camera during the time of the dinosaurs. He returns to the scene several times throughout history in futile attempts to recover it. He finally recovers it after an Ice Age thaws.
