Wall With a Doorway

A travel reflection on concrete walls, passing figures, and the pull of a dark doorway.

A doorway makes the wall feel less flat.

The person passing by gives the frame timing, but the dark arch is what keeps the eye returning. It is an opening and a shape at the same time.

I like travel photography that finds structure in ordinary streets. A wall, a doorway, and a passing figure can be enough to describe the pace of a place.
