I have a tendency to neglect my Friday image, so I’m posting it early.

As I was leaving the Stone Mill in Lawrence the other morning, I stopped to look up the spiral staircase. Between the decades old paint cracking and peeling off of the wood and the spiral pattern of the stairs, I had to grab a shot.

I was running a little late so I didn’t bother setting up my tripod. I shot a series of five bracketed exposures, hand held, to get this HDR image.
