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!

For a person wearing braces on both legs, this looked indeed daunting.. Coming down--not so bad. Coming back up? That was a problem!
