The Secret Garden

What a hackneyed title for a cool photo like this. Some friends and I are wandering around on a Saturday afternoon, checking out little shops and boutiques, and I don’t even remember what kind of stuff no one really needed was for sale here; I just remember looking down through the stairway and seeing what wasn’t readily accessible when we were down there, a nook with all of these plants. I thought it might be their break room. The grate of the stairway gave it a whole lot of contrast and texture, and I really love this photo.
