Mosaic Stairs

A dear friend spoke about starting a blog and I remembered that I used to have 3!!!  So, I've become aspired to start writing and sharing again in all 3.  (A food journal, art Therapy & Exploring (This one!)

To start, I'd like to share pictures from visiting the Mosaic Stars in SF with my dear friend AM.  Ever since I saw the picture of these, I've been telling her I wanted to find these mysterious stairs.  Finally, the perfect time arrived for us to go.  And, what a perfect day it
was! We got there on a clear sunny day right before sun set.





This hidden art gem is located at 16th and Moraga in San Francisco!  It's entitled, " The 16th Avenue Tiled Steps. Not only will you be able to see some amazing views of the city, you'll get to appreciate a beautiful mosaic running up 163 steps. Inspired by the world-famous steps in Rio de Janeiro, Irish ceramist Aileen Barr and mosaic artist Colette Crutcher joined forces, working with over 300 community volunteers for over a two and a half year period until they unveiled the project in August 2005.
