@k@: Hi Karine! :))))) You are so kind and expressive. These stairs have been near me for a long time and only one of these days, because of the shadows, I could really see them. Thanks a lot for your comment and have a beautiful Sunday!

Olá Graça, só para dizer que adorei este trabalho. Impecável uso da luz para criar esta espiral perfeita.
P.S. Finalmente roubei tempo ao tempo para "andar por aqui" mas já deu para perceber que continuas a oferecer-nos imagens lindas e únicas :)
