wall or ground

wall or ground

We were having dinner at Shirlington Thai last week, and I was struck by the unusual lighting fixtures in recessed alcoves. The effect in the final image was especially striking, with the ceiling seeming to disappear, making the vertical recess look almost like a fenced-in horizontal enclosure, and the vertical lamp more like a three-legged arc lamp. The whole scene almost looks to me like a nighttime archaeological dig, with the paint effect on the wall appearing like baked clay.

About me
