Tourists view mural of musician Jim Morrison near boardwalk as Venice Beach celebrates 100th year of existence. A group of tourists view a mural of rock legend Jim Morrison, the late lead singer of the band "The Doors," near the boardwalk in Venice Beach, California July 19, 2005. Buried in Paris, Morrison still maintains a presence in Venice, where his music career began. The Venice boardwalk, with its carnival-like atmosphere, is one of Los Angeles' premier tourist attractions, attracting a quirky and diverse mix of street performers, celebrities and tourists. Founded 100 years ago by Abbot Kinney, the community is observing a summer-long celebration. Picture taken July 19, 2005. REUTERS/Robert Galbraith
