"To see a world you otherwise could not see" Part 2

Almost two years ago, I walked past an empty lot in the Civic Center area on my way to jury duty. I wrote a blog post about it here. At the time, I assumed it was a construction site, and that a building would be going into the empty lot soon.

I walked by it again today for the first time since 2011. Turns out, the empty lot is being used for a community garden! What a beautiful way to utilize the space. It's such a visual treat to see in the middle of the urban city.

Funny, I had just used the photo that I took of the lot two years ago as the cover photo for my Facebook page. I love the words that are written in wooden letters across the ledge. So beautiful and artistic. It seemed so out of context while the lot was in construction a couple of years back, which was part of the reason why I was drawn to it. It makes a lot more sense seeing it now in it's current state.

Here's what the urban community garden looks like now:
