Ever heard of snow rollers? Neither had I till I saw the photo below in a Dark Roasted Blend post about environmental art. It’s beautiful to see the snow roll down the Victorian building detail.

I blogged about beauty yesterday, then went out to a job site and saw some lights installed in what appeared to be a haphazard fashion that just looked wrong. As I put together the process of how they got located there, I realized it made perfect sense to the lighting designer, but just looked terribly out of place. Andy Hess, a construction superintendent with a great artistic eye, suggested we paint a stripe in the wall that would pull the whole design together. I loved the idea. We went from an obvious mistake to a cool design feature.

That’s one of the reasons I love this industry. We have so much room for creativity at all levels.
