Shadows on a brick wall in a minimalist composition, looking thru windows. You have captured a classical scene, Grant. Stunning image!

oh my! we've just turned some sort of corner! amazing! i think the only other inside - outside space type shot that you presented was the car-park w/ stairs and light ray... this reminds me of it -- but has the added dimension of glass window and then sky! wow! this is like a cubist painting -- showing you one thing and offering you something else at the same time! totally amazing! this is my shot of the day! bravo!!

Fantastic light in your photo. It as the feel of a still life sketch, only I would have sketched flowers or a bowl of fruit on the ledge. Terrific symmetry.

I haven't become accustomed to what the thumbnail does to photos. I commented while looking at your thumbnail & the floor appears to be a window ledge.

This one is particularly fine. The simplicity of line, augmented by the way light etches in some lines for you, is really well done. Reminds me much of something by Hopper.

@GJC: thanks very much. that's about the best compliment i can imagine.
daina from New York, United States
Yes, to what others said plus I like the emptiness of the foreground and how the window acts as a frame dividing the outside scene into four different compositions and also one large one of course. The whole image also becomes very abstract the longer one looks at it - especially when reduced in size as in the comments section. :}

@daina: thanks as always daina. i guess this is one instance where size matters :->

A fine, highly controlled shot that attractive graphic qualities - blocks and lines. Very smooth range of tones.

Oh...this is brilliant! The angles from both buildings and window framing, subtle shadow on the tiled floor...the melding of the inside and the outside. I really like this!

@bluechameleon: thanks bc. i was really happy when i found this spot. the building is in many ways a 70's monstrosity, but the second (top) from has a hallway on the exterior wall, lined with windows - really something.
Marcie from United States
Love how the windows act as glass frames to abstract pictures. Really nice graphic quality to this.

A great image. The shadows and the extended reflections make for a fantastic composition.

Somehow, a lot of your images, like this one, are very soothing.

I'm sorry, when did you say the book was coming out? Possibly, my all-time favorite of yours.

This reminds me of that movie " On the Beach " I think it was called , about a submarine that was searching for life after a nuclear event . Really enjoying working my way back through your photos .
