Fire escapes


A random shot today of a typical fire escape from a New York City building. I believe this one was in Chelsea. The crisscrossing of the steps and the shadows caught my eye, though I didn't get a very good shot of it. Have a good week!

Even though you may not be completely satisfied with it, the close-up study of shadow and light, straight lines and angles and contrasting colors is very appealing. This inanimate structure interpreted though your creative eye somehow comes alive, shouting action and excitement! I like it too!

Hi Lori,
I have used a low res copy of your excellent fire escape picture and tweaked it for one of my optical illusions.I have put a link back to the original.
I hope this OK with you?. If not please let me know and I will remove it.
