Shadow Shot Sunday.......a staircase.

For Shadow Shot Sunday over at Hey Harriet's Australian blog some shots of the staircase at home, as I came down yesterday morning.
As the winter sunlight poured through the landing windows above and the glass panelled front doors below, the wooden hand rail and wrought iron balustrade were thrown into stark relief against the stair runner, the pale yellow walls and a framed gravure of Napoleon Bonaparte.

  7. Oh, GORGEOUS. I was in Brussels yesterday, and at one point the sun came out (amazing!) and there were some faboo shadows. Did I have my camera? OF COURSE not...

    Thanks for posting these, Maggie. I love your staircase.
