Stairway to Skyline by alophoto

Stairway to Skyline

Feeling a bit blue and uninspired today. This is a shot/scene that I was drawn to in the city recently. I loved the endless lines of stairs stretching clear up to the sky. I've played and played with it and am done.

It is Friday, it is the weekend and it is payday! WooHOO. Hope that yours is great!
oh that is really interesting - fantastic columns of colour, pattern and perspective - moody evening feel too - bit blue i agree :o)

Great architectural shot. Love those buildings with the stairs on the side, though unsure how I would feel if I had to go down them!

@roseolivia I would be quaking in my flip flops!! Thanks, lady. It's funny that you were unsure of your retro shot. It is a shoe in with it's amazingness. I'd have voted for it, but didn't want to lose so bad with no votes:).

@gozoinklings Thanks, Catherine! Happy weekend!

Very cool shot Amanda. I'm often drawn to these never ending scaffolding stairs all around the city.

I don't think I've ever seen a staircase like that before. Nice angle you got to be able to see the whole thing in silhouette between the buildings. Hope your inspiration comes back today :)

Nice blues!

Can't help but wonder how this would look at sunrise or perhaps sunset with a nice warm glow. Great image as is, with many other possibilities.

cool color
July 12th, 2013  
oh my...I can't even imagine taking those stairs...but I guess in case of fire I would. Really scary looking. Great photo and love the blue tones.
July 12th, 2013

I think this is fabulous. Love seeing the stairs through the transparent stairwell...or is this external? xx
July 12th, 2013  
@psychographer External. It may be scaffolding? I loved it! Thank you!

Fantastic Amanda. Very interesting viewing. Another terrific NYC shot.

@adamj This is by your office, kinda. Do you love these stairs too? Do they call to you to take their picture? Thank you!
July 14th, 2013  
@amandal I recognize this spot. I wouldn't say they call out to me, but we've spoken on a few occasions ;)
July 14th, 2013  
@adamj They were talking to me. I shot them in regular daylight and at this blue houry time of day. Sunset would be cool!
July 15th, 2013  
Awesome pov and composition Amanda - I love your processing
July 15th, 2013  
@ernmar I think that would be amazing, Ernie. Next time I go back:). I did get it in regular daylight and then at this time of day.
