Neon Stone Staircase Georgia Winter Night

Deep indigo night presses against rough limestone walls of a Georgia cliffside interior. A central landing splits into two identical stone staircases that ascend and descend simultaneously from the same flat surface. Cool blue neon light bleeds from hidden fixtures, painting the gray stone in electric hues while warm amber shadows pool in the deep recesses of the masonry. Frost coats the lower steps in a thin white crust, against the smooth, worn texture of the worn handrails. The perfect symmetry forces the eye to choose between two impossible paths. Sharp edges of the stone catch the light, defining the impossible geometry against the dark, textured background.
