Actually a corner of the stairway. Not even sure why I took the photo, nor why I like it. Perhaps it’s because it’s mysterious and the space is ambiguous. Perhaps it’s the pattern of the rain-pelted sand. Perhaps it’s the bolt that doesn’t really look like a bolt. Perhaps it’s the piece of twig/bamboo/root just lying there in perfect irrelevant innocence. Perhaps it’s the formal elements: diagonal, dark and light division, texture contrast? Perhaps it’s none of those things…or all…
Wonder how long the stairway has been there and who built it? I guess I’m always looking for history and purpose, the latter of which would be very clear. 🙂
I don’t know how long the multiple stairways have been there. We have donated to their upkeep, which is always needed. We use these stairways all the time!
