Tag Archives: Magic Gardens

A while back, Cherise and I went to Philadelphia. A while back, as in, er, last Thanksgiving. Between the great flood, moving, and going to India, I never really got a chance to post these. Until now. We checked out a place called Philadelphia's Magic Gardens. The pictures will tell the story better than I can describe it, but this place is insane. Basically, a few decades ago an artist bought a block of buildings, and has spent the time since turning it into an extremely intricate, highly decorated mosaic. Imagine if a pile of glass, tile, wood, mechanical and metal rubbish exploded over freshly plastered church ruins, and you start to have an idea of what this place looks like. Not an inch is spared- allow me to show you.
