Lines and Shadows

Late afternoon sun casts some great shadows.

Shadows and fire escapes

The fire escape stairs you see in the photo is really the shadows. The metal fire escape stairs are painted the same color of the building and blends in so well it is almost hidden in plain sight, like an optical illusion. A much better example of a shadow optical illusion can be seen in this National Geographic photo.

Shadows formed by the fire escape created an interesting pattern curving down to the window.
