Phyllis and I loved the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps -- a beautiful, community-created mosaic running up the steps at 16th and Moraga in San Francisco.
In 2003, Artists Aileen Barr and Colette Crutcher led the creation of 163 mosaic panels that were applied to the step risers, over 300 neighbors helped make them, and over 220 neighbors sponsored handmade animal, bird and fish name tiles embedded within the mosaic. They successfully completed the project two years later, in 2005.
This collective art project is one of San Francisco’s little-known gems that’s well worth the trip: it is a sight to behold, as these photos suggest. The spiral patterns that run through all the steps are exquisite and tie it all together. What a wonderful way to make art with your neighbors!

View of the beach from the top of the cliffs at the top of the bedruthian steps, North Cornwall. The tide was coming in, this was on the way back to the car after a couple of hours there.
The steps down aren't for the faint of heart, and it's only thanks to pizza express (with it's neptune pizza that donates money to the National Trust) that you can get down them at all.
If you ever go, i highly reccomend cream-teas at the Berryfields Cafe just down the road from here!
Old sidewalks around edge of Central Park in Petersburg, Virginia; but someone, at some time in the past, put in these concrete steps to aid access to the path. The residents of the row of homes behind the camera are the likely culprits.
Loved the sunlight hitting these ancient in shadow steps.

After dinner, Mike and I decided to take a nighttime stroll through Rome's historic center. Following a stop at the legendary Trevi Fountain, we headed to the famed Spanish Steps (Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti) at Piazza di Spagna. But when we arrived, we discovered the steps were blocked off by a plexiglass fence that barred access. So disappointing! But we still snapped a few quick photos to commemorate our visit. Here, Mike poses in front of the barricade with the steps and Trinità dei Monti church in the background...
