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!

Muddy steps down to the pond. Taken a few months ago when it was quite chilly, there was no wild life to be seen. They must have been huddled up somewhere keeping warm. HFF
Sorry I have not been around to comment this last week. Been a bit busy in the garden and bogged down with other things...should be able to catch up over the weekend.
Thanks for looking.........Have a nice weekend.
Steps at the side of a sluice on the river Aire, taking the user direclty into... well, nature. So random, not sure why they were there, but a great contrast between the nature and the steps.

We visited the Spanish Steps when we in Rome the first time, but they were closed off. We didn't know what was happening but didn't think too much of it. Once we came back we realized it was opening weekend for the newly renovated stairs. Luckily we came back!View this photo on my blog here.
Haven't shoot landscape for awhile. I have to dust off my camera and revisited Jumeirah Beach Park .
Somehow I don't think these have seen a lot of use lately.
