Red Railing

I recently took our little guy to a birthday party here. While he was munching on pizza, I started observing the architecture of the building. I do that sort of thing all the time. When I'm standing around doing little else, I often stare at the most minute details of my surroundings to help pass the time and keep my brain churning. I usually come up blank, but every once in a while something grabs my eye.

This time out, I had the camera (duh), so I captured this simple composition on the staircase. Concrete block construction reminds me of elementary school. It takes me back to when I was small, and reminds me that interesting visuals can come from the most surprising places.
