This is actually a study in simple photographic formalism. It's all texture, tone, composition and light. I loved how it all came together in one picture. It was taken in the city of Utrecht, in the Netherlands, while walking down a narrow corridor. I loved the double arches and the shadows they threw on the wall. Seeing it in black and white accentuated the texture in such a way that would not have been as apparent had it been in color.

As we came over the ridge a great expanse of distance opened up. Mountains receding in the distance for miles. A cloud bank listlessly drifting at the edge of the horizon. The air was warm with anticipation. The summit could be very near or we could have miles still to go. Trees pointed the way to the deep valley below.
