Stairways to Hell?



We've left the little station through which I sneaked t access the site. This is in one of the really big halls that made the factory.

The large pipes strewn around definitely state that this place is no longer operating, as opposed to the pipe outlet top right that gives some small clue as to how it was. The place feels grimy and I imagine that it was fairly hellish wherever you were in this building. The effect on the glass of the window is interesting: as though the dirt there is holding the light back.

Much stronger than your previous post of the series. Lovely use of shadow and angle. Plenty up top to keep you interested but the stairs egg you on to see the next shot from below. More than a stepping stone in the series, this is one you need to rest a while at and savour. Quite wonderful and very soothing - almost dreamy!

Neglect and dirt, yet it is all rather magnificent-looking with that great light streaming through. I would not think of Hell being below, but curious to know what is.

I am totally fasinated by the textures of the floor, the mysterous staircase, the glow of hte windows and the odd shapes in the sides and back wall. Well done.

The title leads me to confusion. By which I mean that I can see literally what this is a picture of, and I can appreciate the light, the tones, the work in selecting an angle of view and so on, but there is nothing here that is hellish to me and I'm not imagining hell below. Maybe below is the way out...or the works canteen and bar.

Colin, granted, I am hopeless for titles. Sorry it spoiled your experience on this one. Worse is, I agree completely with your point.

I love the interplay between the shadows cast by the railing and the texture of the floor. The glow from the windows is also nice, but I wish this all just slightly darker. I wish that there was more left to be guessed at.

I am struggling a bit. The stairs are central in the image and therefore I am led to them first. I too like the lines from the railings and their shadows. The floor adds to the feeling of decay. I have a problem then about where my interest goes.
