Description
First let me apologize Dave, as I didn't know your birth date. I do now and won't miss it again! When I started doing this series you seemed to like it because it has a bit of old world flavor so I thought this would be good...To wish you a Happy Birthday and hope that it was the best ever! I told you before that I believe you are an Earth Angel and I have seen that in you so many times...your art reflects it in all the stories and images you do for your friends, your heart shows in word, art and action. You are there for every single person who crosses your path and you give so much of your heart in so many ways. You have been there for me countless times for which I am ever so grateful and you never ask anything in return, you are fiercely loyal, protective and yet so sweet and tender, not just with humans but with animals as well. Thank you for being in my life, it would be so much less had I never met you.
This is the only staircase that I saw when I went there and while its totally cool, its the reflection that caught my eye. Zoom for a better look...this is what always seems to me to be a whole other world. I hope you enjoy this and Dave, I wish every happiness and good health in this new year of yours. The stairs are a reminder to me of all of the ups and downs that each of us face each day and the landings are the quiet and safe times in between...Big Hugs my friend!!!
Thanks for looking,for previous comments and favs! I will do some visiting today:-)

great looking picture, i'm sure our friend dave will enjoy this. sis my post for him yesterday. happy birthday again dave.
You wrote the magnificent words for your friend Dave... they moved me! Your photo is very beautiful! :) Hugs!
marvelous picture!! great dedi!
This is a wonderful combination of a beautiful image and very insightful and moving words for Dave. I like staircases that are out in the open and have twists. Our lives have strange twists too among the ups and downs. The reflection reminds me that whatever happens to us in our physical existence, is seen in reflection on our spiritual soul. Your words and image for Dave show your great caring and understanding. Most excellently done!
Excellent shot, well done...
Shining shot.
Wonderful shot for Dave!!!!!
How are you doing lynn ,finally getting caught up :-),. I've missed Dave's birthday aswell. He will love this. Mick
bonne photo!!
What a sweet and thoughtful dedication for our friend Dave. Both in your lovely true words and in this beautiful capture. I am sure he will be thrilled.
Such beautiful words, that are so sincere and heartfelt! Excellent POV, and architecture of these stairs! A really great capture!
Very well seen and captured!
wonderful dedication
Lynn, you are so sweet and I'm the one who is lucky to be blessed with a wonderful friend like you. Thank you so much for this lovely birthday dedi and for your friendship which means the world to me. I know you have been through so much for some time now and for you to take the time to put this together for me despite everything really touched me. I love this beautiful staricase that you captured so well and as always your right that the reflection is where the real magic is at. As Lucinda pointed out it can almost be like a reflection of our soul, or for that matter of an alternate and beautiful world. Thank you again for this one my friend and please don't apologize as I didn't tell anyone it was my birthday because I know people have enough to worry about without adding my birthday to the mix. But it seems my dear friend Mark has an amazing memory and let it out. Thank you again for putting this together in such a short time and for making it something I'll always treasure.
What a superb shot! it really is a wonderful interior, and thankyou for getting such good shots of it!
Cool staircase and dedication!!
Super superb in POV, clarity, detail, contrast and composition, Lynn!
Wonderful shot of a most interesting staircase; it almost looks like it's floating!!

Cool POV and dedi
FANTASTIC CAPTURE AND WONDERFUL WORK...GREAT DEDI....NICE MY FRIEND..!!!
Wonderful dedi for my bro, he is the most wonderful man, hugs Jane xx
First on the image, I love the play of stairwells here...in fact we can't tell if they're one stairwell with reflections, or two in different hues, etc. (That ambiguity is the essence of reflections in glass.) The two different tones---front & back---give depth to the image and make it almost a variation on a theme. And the formal language of metal elements crisscrossing the gridwork on the mirror/glass, and being punctuated by those lights, is what these malls & spaces are all about. You've gotten real richness from this place, and I hope you go back and find more. And as for the dedi...well I don't have to tell you how much I (and everyone else) love Sir Dave, and all he does for everyone. I know you go back with dave, and your words are very touching & true & show real history; and I see how much he's moved by them. Beautiful words & image for "our dave," and I wish him a happy birthday once more---though late, lol---and I hope you, Lynn, are doing well this second full day of summer, and are getting through the medical matters of the last few months with all the strength you can muster. Beautiful dedi image, and a fine tribute to one of RR's favorites.
WOW. Oooh! This is incredibly nice. The dedication is fantastic and moving, and the image itself is quite stunning. This kinda vaguely reminds me of the National Library in Prague (only without a bar...gotta love Czech libraries...you can read AND get snockered without changing location!) You picked the best POV for this, as it highlights the slanted sweep and bend in the stairs, and yeah, I like the light quality in this too. It's a bit of a cinematic shot as well: those stairs are just begging for a woman in an elegant evening gown to flow down and exchange witty dialogue with the guy waiting for her. I love it when pictures send me off in directions like that; it shows that the pictures themselves have so much going on. And this has a LOT going on and a LOT going for it. I like this a lot!
