Ever since I saw so many fire escapes in NYC when I was a little girl, I dreamed of having one. Still dreaming, but seeing your photo makes me happy.

I hope these fire escapes never have to be used for anything but shadow shots!

WHEN YOU SEE THE SHADOWS DANCE

When you see the shadows dance,
Be it Mexico or France,
You may join the shadow fun,
Dancing till the day is done!

Yes, that one really does have a wonderful design, and the shadows it creates are perfect. In fact, the whole building looks like it was designed by an artist! Enjoy the day.

Fire escapes both scare me and entertain me. I love the geometric beauty of them, but I'm totally witless if I have to go out on one. I hate high open spaces.
