Moraga Steps

How can path, concrete and steel, be more than stairway up a hill? It can be mural of startling parts, complex vision of mystical arts; tiled artwork, colors fantastic, one hundred sixty steps majestic. Myriad fishes, seaside delight, swim beneath crescent moonlight; gorgeous flowers, many flying thing, as if Van Gogh made ceramic sing! Each glazed panel is wondrous, no trip up steps too ponderous. Every tourist should gladly go, to this sight in San Francisco.
