Into the Night

These stairs are along the River Walk in San Antonio Texas - They lead you from the River area back up to the street level. (EoD)

This was actually taken in broad daylight - Original is in the comments section. Adjustments with NIK Silver Efex, Wet Rocks preset + I pushed the mid-tone levels.

Canon 70-200L IS at 120mm. Early morning, ISO 400, 1/160th @ f2.8

  What a fascinating transformation, Jeff. Kind of portrays my mood lately. I'm still amazed that you found a portion of deserted stairway on the Walk.

  Jeff- You always amaze me and I have learned alot from your photos. I just love how you see things. You continue to fill your gallary with amazingly beautiful images. I just love what you saw here in its simplicity and yet you make it so fasinating. Love the textures and the black and white. Stunning work my friend.
Have a great day, do take care.
