Description
Here's a window in a stucco wall. On either side of the window are decorative wooden shutters. The window, including its rounded top, has a white shade, which is halfway pulled. In the midst of all this, somehow a set of steps rises diagonally through the window, left to right. The combination seems so odd, that you might think this was some sort of composite image, and that the steps and railing were digitally introduced to the scene. But that's not the case. The steps and metal railing are a reflection of an actual stairway across the street. I don't know that I would ever have noticed this except that I was out photo hunting for stairs for a theme in a photography group I belong to, and in this quite flat area in which I live, buildings of more than one story and, consequently, stairs are definitely at a premium. So I was looking everywhere, including here, and was happily surprised by this fascinating graphic display. The stairs on their own would not have been particularly interesting, but in this combination, they delighted me.
