In the spirit of this post, which led to another post at AT:LA, we thought we'd share these beautiful mosaic stairs located in Golden Gate Heights...
Created by artists Colette Crutcher and Aileen Barr, the stairs are a gorgeous, flowing mix of ocean, land and sky. Larger, intricate tiles of fish and other creatures are interspersed throughout the work, bearing names of volunteers and supporters of the neighborhood project. We could see someone doing this on a smaller scale in a garden or front entrance with regular mosaic pieces - could be a fun project!

completely and utterly lovely; one caveat, though, I know that I'd get dizzy walking up them....
WOW!!!!!!! so cool!
I love these stairs. My husband showed them to me, but we started at the top/going down. Of course, I was being all sassy "whats so great about these stairs?" Then, at bottom, looked up: "woah! pretty great"
What a lovely work of public art!
beautiful!
wow I thought I was looking DOWN the stairs until I realized I was looking UP. very cool.
the only thing cooler is the view at the top of the staircase. i love me some turtle hill!
Gorgeous. Wonderful inspiration.
These stairs are fun!
that is sooo beautiful. I get the feeling that if I walked up those steps, something magical will be at the top.
This reminds me of my beloved Park Guell in Barcelona: http://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/gaudi/park-guell.html
Antonio Gaudi loved to cover everything in colorful tiles!
