The lawyer and fine art photographer that lives here feels strongly about public art.  He established "Art in the Alley" along this road to encourage others to create public art here.  The first significant addition is this mosaic/inlay by Mr Olcerst himself. 

Made of over 2100 pieces of hand cut granite and porcelain, it depicts very early architecture.  The design is based on photographs taken at a church in Tulia, Italy.
