I had just finished photographing some architectural details on an old church in Georgia and this image appeared to me while I was walking back to my car. My practice is to keep my camera "On" until I'm back in the car, which serves as a reminder to keep looking for other things of visual interest. Doing so allowed me to catch a glimpse of this out of the corner of my eye. The vertical lines are shadows from the fence protecting the stairwell and the high contrast of the shadows and handrail against the stucco wall made it a great subject for black and white.
