Broad Street Steps

 These steps in Bridgeport, Connecticut, were painted in 2017 by artist Liz Squillace and volunteers.  They represent a DNA sequence.  The artist says they represent the City of Bridgeport and our shared humanity.  

She chose most of the colors by working with colors nearby — blue for the sky, green for the trees, yellow for the flowers, black for the handrails. “On a clear day when the sky is that really bright blue, the blue on the stairs looks like it flows right into the sky,” Squillace said.

That pattern and colors must make climbing those stairs more interesting. It looks great in your photo.
