Architecture
The photo above is the work of German photographer Klaus Lenzen. The picture shows a staircase at the Hyatt Hotel in Dusseldorf leading up to a window facing the blue sky. In addition to highlighting the design, placing the stairs and the window in dark shadows has added a piece of surrealism to the photo. Image elements seem to float in space.
