Let the SUN SHINE [Contest Winner Pool September 2010]
Uploaded: September 27, 2010 02:59:42
----
Just one tiny isolation of wonderment at Philadelphia's Magic Garden on 1022 South Street. This was the place that Sean could not wait to show me.
-----
(from a Google Search):
Covering an indoor and outdoor space equivalent to half a city block, Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens glisten with creativity, urban renaissance and a hint of madness.
Isaiah Zagar, a local artist who began tiling South Street in the 1960s and never stopped, constructed the space out of cement, bicycle spokes, bottles, ceramic shards and other artistic knick-knacks.
