A couple weeks ago, Chloe and I decided to find as many transformer boxes as we could and take pictures by them. We had no idea what we were walking into. We've seen these beautifully painted electrical boxes around town for years, but just took them for granted. Then I decided to look up the reason for them. A couple of years ago, the city of Fort Collins decided to beautify these ugly gray boxes found all over the city. They decided to commission local artists to paint these boxes. I'm so glad they did. These ugly, now beautiful, boxes are just so happy. It's the little things that bring joy and art and beauty into people's lives. Art is everywhere...you just have to look. Here's a sampling of just a few that Chloe and I found. We spent about an hour one evening and two hours the next day on what felt like an easter egg hunt all around Old Town (the old downtown area of the city). We photographed over 52 transformer boxes and I have a feeling we haven't even made a dent in the amount left to still find. We had such a fun time together! I'm so glad we live in a city that values art.
