Photographer's comments:

I love urban exploration and architecture. The Tokina wide angle lens allows me to capture the beauty of things, and to add a surrealistic feel to the structures. For this shot, I positioned my camera directly on the floor to get the best perspective. This staircase was built in 1885 at the Old Main Post Office, the shape of the staircase reminds me of M. C. Escher's work.
