    A clever angle, Doug! I also like the bronze color of the stairs and the reflection on it.

    No 1 London Bridge Building has similar staircase.
    It's wider but its treads are narrower.

    Perhaps its the angle but it looks like it should a sign "Walk on stairs at your own risk" should be somewhere nearby.

    Very creative angle you got there! I love the effect of the shadow that starts only at the edge of the top steps and slowly taking more and more space :D

    You have a great camera-eye.
