If you have been to New York City, you probably know that it's sometimes a grey place to be. However, if you have been there lately, a colorful and strange sight may have caught your attention in the streets. A floral designer Lewis Miller and his team place flowers in the bins. They turn them into big flower baskets.
Sixty years ago, when he walked through the streets of his neighborhood, he felt so uncomfortable at seeing those garbage bins. But those were so useful indeed, so they had to be there. It was at that time that Lewis Miller came up with such an idea: Turning garbage bins into works of art.
Miller thinks about the colors of the nearby buildings. Then he chooses the flowers to make the streets brighter. He calls his works Flower Flashes.
