We could just lay around
Stare at the ceiling
Want to forget about
One for the feeling
Room for photographs
Box full of letters
Come on make it last
Nothing else matters right now
Can you go another round?
I will follow you down and out
Let's go another round
I will follow you down and out

Is that a secret pentagram projected onto the ceiling?
exfordy (64 months ago | reply)
Wicked shot Gabs. Gotta Fave.

Love it - great shot!

Absolutely wonderfull, instant fave : )
NeilB's Photography [deleted] (64 months ago | reply)
Clever, had to look at at a few times to work out how you were shooting it.
Classic Gabs!
abcformwork (64 months ago | reply)
Nice one, sometimes it looks inverted
Steffen Jakob (64 months ago | reply)
Awesome shot!
Paul Forsdick (64 months ago | reply)
Gorgeous lighting and shadows. A very nice piece of architectural design.

I love spiral staircases, and this one is beautifully captured.
Cybergabi (64 months ago | reply)
Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments and faves. I am so glad you like this one - I loved that curvy place, and the light and shadows, and the creamy concrete with the red railing.
Cat, thank you for your enthusiasm. You keep me going, girl!
Lloyd, such a comment from you means a lot to me...
Kathleen - I was struck in awe when I looked up and discovered this...
Trane, I don't think so. It's got definitely more than 5 pillars, and shadows... but it's generating a starry shape, that's for sure.
Wow, Bri - a fave from you - need to mark that day in my calendar :-)
David, thanks so much. Very much appreciated!
Mike, thank you too, glad you like it!
Neil, thank you. It's a puzzling perspective, isn't it!
abcformwork, thank you. I wasn't sure myself whether I was looking up or down...
Steffen, thank you!
Paul, thanks too. It's a totally awesome place in the outskirts of Frankfurt. No idea who designed this, but it's wonderful.
Thank you Ray - however, it's a ramp, not stairs :-) But I know what you mean... Glad you like it!
Nuno Leitao (64 months ago | reply)
That is very cool. It does however make my head spin, but in a good way :)
nicebiscuit (64 months ago | reply)
Like a big swirl of whipped cream...
exfordy (64 months ago | reply)
Behave yourself or there'll be no more faves from me!
Mademoiselle Monique (64 months ago | reply)
Congratulations! This photo won its 3Way Challenge!
Please, send it to the pool
FatPete [deleted] (64 months ago | reply)
I didn't spot this photo first-time round - it's excellent! The red handrails break up the white perfectly.
Cybergabi (64 months ago | reply)
Joe, that's a wonderful and mouthwatering comparison. Thanks so much!
Bri, that wouldn't change much then :-)
Monique + 3Way - thank you!
Pete, so glad you like it. Thanks for the fave too.
And Kathleen, thanks for the edit and the fave! :-)
exfordy (64 months ago | reply)
Ah but just like when I make a Contact a Friend, when I give a Fave you know I mean it. Muah!
Cybergabi (64 months ago | reply)
Thanks, Bri - *muah* back!
(Just happened to find this in Explore - yay!)

terminal orbit (64 months ago | reply)
Perhaps also what is this? :)
(from White-Red-White)
Cybergabi (64 months ago | reply)
Terminal Orbit, thanks for the wonderful comment!
It's a ramp. Located in Frankfurt-Fechenheim, Germany, in an office building in an industrial area. I will geotag it.
The building and the view from outside of the spiral are here:

'Terminal Orbit' wouldn't have been a bad caption for the shot...
Cybergabi (64 months ago | reply)
Joe, I guess you're right ;-)
terminal orbit (64 months ago | reply)
I like the building as well. So... unexpected.
And feel free to follow nicebiscuit's suggestion! :)
Cybergabi (64 months ago | reply)
Thanks, TO! Although I guess I stick with the original title + caption... but I appreciate your kind words and your offer a lot!
mndhemphill (64 months ago | reply)

Thanks, Alice and zarylla!
And TO - I appreciate that, really do :-)
Rachel-B (64 months ago | reply)
Had to come look at this one again, as the print from it turned out spectacularly! Once, again, beautiful job! I can't believe I didn't fave this one the first time around - I'll have to rectify that situation now. :)
RoryO'Bryen (64 months ago | reply)
This is so good, I really like it: the circular movement and the intersecting columns and shadows. Perfect exposure and contrast too
Cybergabi (64 months ago | reply)
Thank you Rachel - so glad you like it! And thanks for the fave too!
Rory, thank you - it's definitely one of my own favorites too...

Thank you, Stox (also for the fave and the invite) and Daniel - glad you like it!
jonwild [deleted] (61 months ago | reply)
stunning overall, in particular I like the red handrail leading the eye around, the way the ramp kinks down at the top and the way the lines come together in the top right. Just lovely.

An outstanding shot - subtle and very beautiful. The shadows on the ceiling are especially wonderful - like darkened search lights :-)

Thank you, Corydora - I am very glad you like it!
