Patterson Park in Austin

Carol Obianwu recently walked through Patterson Park in Austin and sent these wonderful photographs. Thank you for sharing, Carol!

The picture above is a close-up of the “Flamingo Mitote” mosaic in the park. This mosaic was created by Stephanie Distefano in 2012, and it is made of recycled mirrors and tiles hand-made by Stephanie and others. Below is the full mosaic.
