Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away!
William Hughes Mearns
... an excerpt from Antigonish
This is another shot from Battery Kinzie at Fort Worden.

Another beauty of a "Tara" shot; love the postwork on this!
Your imagination does climb the stairs of considerable talent! +5 from doarte's MADHOUSE
Yup, this image has my imagination climbing those stairs right along with yours. Really like the way you've muted the background and used High Key to further brighten the entire image...something I have never done yet. Way to go :*
Oh Dierbaar - this is just incredible work! Very moody and along with the words reach deep! Excellent my friend! :)
You have the perfect piece of poetry to accompany your stellar stair shot.
Superb b & w. I also love the composition. Well done.
Love the words--they make perfect sense!! And the foto rocks!!
It has all been said.... Stunning! Clive
Fantastic photo and the poem is perfect for it!
AN super shot and very spooky too :-) The poem is excellent for this shot.
How interesting is this! The version I know goes As I was letting down my hair I met a man who didn't care. He didn't care again today.. I LOVE 'em when they get that way! I now think maybe it was in my book of parodies...Hmmm!
superbe photo!!
Beautiful image!!
Love the simplicity!
Wonderful image in B/W! :)
Cool black and white contrast and effects in this one. I had a suspicion from the start of this series that Battery Kinsie was haunted. Not unusual for an old and quasi decrepit compound this large.
Outstanding shot! Excellent in black and white. Very cool POV as well!
Very subtle. A first look might cause one to think it was just an ordinary, slightly out of focus, stairway. On second look I thought of a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock movie. The black and white, the soft focus, I can hear two sets of footsteps when I look at this. Someone is being chased. Someone is running scared.
Such a good atmosphere ! I agree for Hitchcock :)
Excelent mono and a lines are great.
Nice shot of these stairs and love how the BG is faded out kinda neat well done!!
Excellent shot!
wonderful mood in this shot... looking for that man but can not find him
this is cool, Tara May warm hugs, Linda Kaye
What a fabulous composition. I want to know what's up there...
A perfect illustration for the poetry!
Very nice....
Wonderful capture. I love the mood in this- especially in monotone- great job!
While I am not into poetry, I think I know that one.. Shock! Great postwork.. Rob
Oooh, this really pops and sizzle and oozes with visual excitement. I love the composition, the stark black and white, and all of the details that fade from bold in the foreground to dream-like and shifty in the background. I love the poetic quote as well, it's a delicious compliment to an already marvelous and deliciously moody photo.
