  2. That is a very M.C. Escher-ish photo. It is hard to tell which is up and which is down.

  4. Good god! What's leading where? This picture made me wonder. I actually tried to figure where things start and where they end. Nice shot!

  6. Not the place to be when lightning strikes. I'd probably get hysterical lol.

    I get freaky around metal structures here in TX. Especially stuff like metal bleachers.

  10. I love it, Daryl. The geometry of fire escapes is sublime.

  11. Brings to mind movies from the Forties... and since. My funny mind.
    It is a good picture full of patterns.

  12. Hello Daryl:

    I think we've been meme neighbors before. This photo makes me dizzy just looking up at it. Such a great capture of a New York Scene!

  13. I dub this The Staircase Of Love, because it appears to be completely confusing and impossible.

    I know I know, never show a photograph to a poet.

  14. Yes, very Escher-like! That, I would hang on my wall, if I had it.

  15. Oh! Up The Down Staircase!
    Was that in black and white? ;)

  17. On my last (my only) trip to NYC I couldn't stop shooting fire escapes. You do them different in the states, and they make great subjects. Flickr have a group for them!

  20. the composition is sterling!! as is the light

    well done

    ReplyDelete

  22. I like this a lot! Great lines, of course, and play of black and white...but the subject itself is so interesting - or the way you captured it is so interesting...almost looks like some kind of child's play set...

  23. Fire escapes make me dizzy. But maybe it's just me;)

  24. Hooray for MM! Wowsers I'm a dizzy miss Lizzy!

  25. the stairs in b&w is a wonderful contrast...it certainly reminds me of new york and its alleys...
    it looks dizzy but in a good way...^-^

  26. The patterns are there if only you look for them. You have.

    ReplyDelete

  28. Thanks for your visit at my blog!
    Your picture - so cool perspectiv! Looks great in b&w!

    ReplyDelete

  29. Wonderful lines and angles! I agree with steviewren - I thought of Escher straight away. I love it!

    ReplyDelete

  30. So rich! Reminds me of mikado game - challenge to sort the lines! Great image!

    ReplyDelete

  32. I think I would get lost in all those stairs.

    ReplyDelete

  33. With my knees it might be better to just jump...

    ReplyDelete

  34. That's an interesting shot. Looks like a series of ladders instead of steps.

    ReplyDelete

  35. The next time I come to NYC for a visit, will you take me to see this IRL?? We country gals don't see things like this too often. OK, EVER! SO cool!

    ReplyDelete

  36. I wouldn't want to climb up or down that lot but it's a great shot Daryl. :)

    ReplyDelete

  37. I love the way the shadows trick the eye in this one. I'd love to follow that stair and see where it goes. Great capture!

    ReplyDelete

  39. Looks complicated, but a fantastic picture!

    ReplyDelete

  40. Marvelous lines and shadows ... reminds me a bit of M C Escher too. I don't think I'd be very comfortable up there looking down.
    Hugs and blessings,

    ReplyDelete

  41. Love the depth and complexity achieved with such a simple subject.

  42. A fire escape is always interesting and something I don't see often where I'm from. Very cool this one.

    ReplyDelete

  44. Like an Escher drawing. Great perspective.

    ReplyDelete

  45. I love the intricate pattern of the fire escapes.

    ReplyDelete

  47. Perfect shot for B/W, love the different lines.

    ReplyDelete

  50. Boy, you'd think they'd come up with a less complicated design for an escape route!

    ReplyDelete

  51. I always love visting you. You have such interesting photos.

    ReplyDelete

  52. That's a lot of geometry, nice in b&w. Glad we don't have that kind of stairs here.

    ReplyDelete

  54. I'd hope I never had to climb down that doggone thing! What a great shot. Well captured!

    ReplyDelete

  55. Immediately makes me think of West Side Story.

    Excellent shot!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete

  58. I don't have a problem telling up from down, I just love all the lines and angles and shadows.
