Two Places at Once 09 / 15

Stair railings and a walkway layered over deep blue surf.

Stairwell Tide

The two photographs
A long staircase with dark steel railings climbing inside a modern building, beside a glass wall onto ferns, and surfers lined up on a wave at Pleasure Point, California.
Why together
The stair rails and the wave both run in long, steady diagonals. Laid over each other, a climb indoors turns into a walk down to the water.
