The Bannisters


I saw these banisters in one of the gold coast mansions, built in the early 1900's as a summer home, and later given to the Jesuits for a Seminary. It is now a retreat house, called St. Ignacius. This is just one of the back staircases - most likely for servants. Imagine what the front staircases look like! The multiple chimney's along on the roof are enough to stop you in your tracks. I just liked playing with the composition of this photograph. I tried a wider view, then this closer version. The composition is much stronger in this version, I thought.
