Tumbler

Stairwell, Parking Garage, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved


Oops... bumble, stumble, tumble,
Down the stairs I go,
Head over heels.
Hello 3rd floor.
Hello 2nd floor.
Hello Ground floor.
Whump!

Head spinning...
Stars swirling...
Seeing my world
Purple and bruised.
Ouch!

    An image very well framed. However, the color is amazing ... but beautiful

    Fabulous coloring. Hope you weren't too purple after your stumble down the stairs.

    Don't tell us you really fell down this staircase??
    Anyway, since you took the time to take the pic and play with post treatment, I guess not! :)
    Well done and fun too!!
    Cheers and take care!!

    A great image, Doug. It's giving me vertigo, though... Or is that High Anxiety? -- as in the Mel Brooks film of the same name!

    Vertiginous perspective and nice process in purple. Unusual and beautiful.
    Have a nice day.

    though it's monochrome, it leaves me with a very psychedelic feeling ... my head starts turning, i lose my focus, ... i'm reeling ... and falling .... what a nightmare! i shouldn't have read your words ... ;-)))

    Doug, this is really a good-feeling-foto. And the text - I was smiling a lot when I read it.
