[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another image taken at a former naval base near San Francisco that was vacated several years ago. Some of the buildings are now in use for businesses or housing, but there are still many that are empty. The shadows cast by this stairway caught my eye and I was able to stop in the middle of the street (no traffic!) to take the shot.

PP: standard RAW adjustments, resized, sharpened, added border.

Very interesting POV here. The interplay of the angles, lines, light, dark and shadows all transform just a stairway into a very interesting, make you stop and look, "work of art".
Well handled lighting overall given the way the light naturally fell on it and the limited dynamic range of cameras versus the human eye.
TFS, nice work.
Thanks,
Wilt

Hello Karen,
