Running With Sharp Objects
This is part of an escalator lobby in the underground shops at 505 South Flower Street (formerly known as Arco Plaza) in downtown L.A. The walls are covered on both sides in mirrored panels alternating with blue glazed tiles on one wall and green on the other. From some angles the reflections run off into infinity. I boosted the saturation a little bit here but the tiles are vividly colored in real life. The stainless steel of the escalators, which are seen here reflected in the mirrors, are lit by some sort of incandescent lighting because they appear orange-gold to the camera. Those are normally silver, of course, and it's only the lighting that creates the gold tone.
Although much of the underground area was remodeled a few years ago, this portion dates back to at least the 80s and maybe earlier. The two towers were built in 1972.
