Thanks, Alan.

Don't know. Oddly I thought off calling it Spiral because the staircase with fern made me think of sea shell. Cross-cut, with a denser center. I didn't call it that because it was a "spiral staircase." GMT. Heh.

I agree.

I often wonder why "spiral" is used to describe such staircases. Spirals
are actually 2D shapes (like a clock spring) wheras the 3D version is a
Helix (like DNA). Some pundits say that a helix is simply a 3D spiral
with constant radius.

Great image - the stairs, tiles and plant work together well, but the
guy on the stairs nad the B&W rendering really seal the deal.

I am inordinately fond of this photo, because normally when I do
"street photography" (i.e. people I don't know), they don't end up
where I want them.

I was positive I showed this on PDML before, but have found no
indication that I actually ever did. I have shown it on Facebook.
