The Atlanta Hotel, Bangkok - #6 (The Stairs).



The stairs of the three floors of the Atlanta make for very interesting photography. The earth brown brick wall, the curving black solid wood banister, the light blue ceiling with the yellow border, the circular patterned metal bars, the winding steps all contrasted beautifully to give an intricately appealing look.


From the first floor, I looked up and saw the stairs leading up, inviting. As if there are a world to be discovered up there.


View of the first and second floor together.


This shot captured all three floors, each entirely different from the other. The light at the highest floor that shone on the brick wall was an invitation to discovery. The figure standing at the lighted corridor of the first floor struck a lonely figure. While the brightly lighted ground floor and lobby promised gaiety and warmth.


Contrast the two different worlds – the dimly lighted corridor and brightly lighted lobby, both empty.


Another angle from the corridor of the first floor to the lobby.


The simple yet beautiful pattern of the ornamental ironwork contrasted against the painted wall.


The steps leading down into the lobby.
