This has been a hard shot to get with a regular camera, because these stairs are high on a tall wall. (Click on any picture on this page for a bigger version.)

Someone had the courtesy to leave a fire escape light on one night on 17th Street just west of Union Square. You come walking down the sidewalk and there above you, suspended in the night, is a lovely white lattice. It cried out for a camera, so I went home and brought one back. Two lenses in the rain.
