An Escher Moment

Continuing photos taken at Dunedin Railway Station, I thought this staircase had an M C Escher feel to it.

I did think of converting it to b&w but decided against it because the colour version showed the wear on the handrail more clearly. I love the way the varnish has worn off after years of use.

Loved this staircase as well ... it was making great shadows when we were there..

[Ali P]

This is great!

[Kane Arlow]

Another example of great craftsmanship. And beautifully captured too.

A wonderful example of gorgeous decorative craftsmanship -- I am glad you decided to show us the colour version as it shows the delicate coordinating beautiful colours of the whole scene !

[Christina Helliwell]

What a grand staircase, and a stunning shot. Great pov. And the colours co-ordinate so beautifully. Glad you didn't convert to b&w. This is beautiful.

You've got such depth in this -- and amazing to have no people!

Fantastic shot. Very Escher.

It would have been a sin to do this in b/w though I can see the temptation. Those tiles on the floor & steps are a real treasure.

I guess you are all Escher fans too.
Sorry for the group reply, but I have had a very long day today and it is so humid this evening. I guess I will be in bed early tonight. My eyes are closing now.
It took me a while to get a photo of this staircase with no people walking up and down it and then when I thought it was clear there was a little boy playing at the bottom of the stairs, but my patience paid off and I was pleased with this photo.

[Babs]

@julzmaioro Oh I look forward to that. Can't wait.

[Babs]

@cruiser Thanks Chris, you will have to post some of your photos of the staircase too.

[Dianne]

Great image - such a neat place to take photos!

[Babs]

@boxplayer Thanks so much. I bet the M C Escher exhibition was fantastic, would loved to have seen it, but I think it was a bit too far to visit for the day. :)

[Babs]

@dide Thanks Dianne. Julia has just said that you are both going to Dunedin next week. Can't wait to see the photos.

[Dianne]

@onewing yes - not sure if we'll get to the railway station this time - only one night in Dunedin and we are staying out on the peninsula.

[Sheralee S]

It's beautiful with all that intricate tiling.

[Jan Hall]

Escher was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this. Love it!
