Peeking at Finster's gardens.
The Rev. Howard Finster built his artisting empire from a vision he had of an angel who told him to "paint sacred art." He transformed a swampy area in a residential zone into a magnificent garden. Complete with found objects, artwork and all sorts of other things, the garden has become a refuge for thousands. Here's an overview of Paradise Garden.
