Rainbow stairs

8:22 AM |


In the small gap between the two buildings is a flight of stair painted in the in variety of color as if a rainbow. The location is uncertain but it seems to be in a older, less populated downtown street. The simple idea of a rainbow staircase brighten up the sleepy neigborhood. It modernizes the street, giving it flare and a focal point with a minium cost.

Adding colors to this otherwise blanche surrounding no doubt lives it life, but it's resemblance to a rainbow may be what really drawing in the eye of people. According to Wikipedia a rainbow "is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines on to droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere". However, because of myth and fairytales, this phenomenon is often asssociation with magic, wonder, hope, and such. Rainbow is also a reaccuing element in pop culture making it an attraction to a large audience.
