Spiral, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

This is a shot looking up a spiral staircase in a tower at Scotty’s Castle in Death Valley National Park. I used a fisheye lens to maximize the spiral effect of the stairs.

Scotty’s Castle is a folly built in the desert in the 1920s, now a tourist attraction. Steven and I met there on our way to the Racetrack. I never expected to find anything interesting to photograph at Scotty’s Castle—which goes to show that if you are open to the unexpected you never know what you’ll see.

Here’s the black and white version of this photo.
