I know, we've seen this fire escape before. It's still incredibly cool and deserved another look from another angle.

I really, really pulled the perspective on this one because the alley was narrow and there was lots of clutter at the edges of the frame. When I composed onsite, I thought I would frame the spiral staircase with all the other stuff and it would work out ok. It didn't.

So I cropped the picture down to the essential element of the staircase and took it from there.
