Description

An outdoor staircase is constructed of concrete and stucco materials. The stairs ascend alongside a tan, stucco wall. A simple, dark metal handrail runs parallel to the steps. The harsh sunlight creates pronounced shadows, accentuating the architectural forms. The base of the staircase is built into a concrete surface. The walls and steps have a rough texture. The scene conveys a stark, minimalist aesthetic. The photograph is taken at eye-level.
