Stairs n Shadows
When I used to travel thruought Northern California for work, I used to see a large cylindrical tank with stairs on the side. I was fascinated by the patterns of the shadows on the side of the tank. I found this similar tank yesterday, and here it is!! The image that has been in my head for years!! Scary isn't it! The stuff that lurks in my head!! LOL

A fantastic POV and results from your imagination and then reality. This photo makes two different shapes in one.
Very well framed and the colors are unique, the clarity of the pictureis also great.

  Jim, I like the lines and shadows as much as everyone else, but, honestly, what captured my attention is that lovely quality of the light. Did you wait for it or just happen upon this great image by chance?

  Thanks to Rene, Pat and Mike for your comments. Mike, I have to admit, that the light came from Photoshop manipulation. That quality and color of light would have come much later in the evening, and then the angles would have been very different. So, I made the best of the situation....
