AUSSIEMANDIUS- "THE FALL DOWNSTAIRS"
(BEST VIEWED UNWAVERINGLY)
HAIKU FOR AFTER THE FALL
Where thousands walked
Only shadows tread there now
Stairing vacantly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't do much to this picture, even left some untidy bits in the crop. Seemed appropriate somehow. Black and white seemed best, just a touch of Italian neo-realism cued off the the scatter of rubble on the well worn stairs crosses those jagged shadows.
It was one of the main exterior stairs for the grandstands at the old Moorabbin Football Oval in Melbourne, Australia.
Demolished 13.1.2009
