Captured with a full-frame mirrorless camera and 21mm lens.This is mostly a study of lines, particularly the handrail (which provides an anchor for the eye to follow), but also the curved railing at the bottom of the stairs at left. I was attracted to the austere, utilitarian design, yet the curved pipe railing by the tracks has an elegant, art deco look to it.The top of the stairs was a difficult place to work. A tripod was essential for framing, but people were moving around behind me.

    @mattblaze I liked that the rightmost rail on the middle landing is exactly vertical in the frame. I always struggle with composition and framing, and that`s a nice trick to have in the sleeve, thanks!
