I like your photo though; the style is very reminiscent of the works of Escher. I can't quite tell if I'm looking at steps up or down, or just a very strange, level path.

Thanks Moonie.

It's a downhill path, looking at the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean (more specifically, its marine layer). The pic was taken at the northwestern corner of San Francisco, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Yep, but as the photos are posted, the theme seems to get nailed down more specifically. I guess that's a natural, organic process, though, and maybe the photos would have gone a different direction had I not posted early.
