Summer Fire Escapes

In the summer, shadows become extreme.  These create geometric patterns that change the look of what is naturally there.  The New York City brownstones become glowing structures that frame the streets.  In particular, the fire escapes create designs that come from the bright sun.  

Here's is one that has a spotlight that snuck between opposing buildings:

Ladder Shadows

And, the brownstones themselves have their own rhythms and reflections...
