Martha hosts this meme about color.Here's another colorful work of art in our neighborhood.
The Memorial Lifehouse, a solar-powered lighthouse with a shrine dedicated to Matt Schekel, an 18-year-old bicyclist who was killed by a vehicle at the corner of Southeast 37th and Taylor; a tiled “love bench” big enough for two to sit very close; and a “life cycle” wheel, made by his mother, telling the story of Matt's life.
At the base of the bench are bike pedals embedded into the ground.

Oh, I love things like this! What a touching story and compelling tribute.
How amazing...sad, but amazing. The color is bold and beautiful and the creative details...wow!
I think that must rank as the most special bench I have ever seen. Very personal, very creative, very fine memorial. It must have been a nice way to treat the sorrow
Awesome creation. Makes me think a bit of Gaudi.
What a beautiful memorial!
That's wonderful and whimsical.
