Altered perspectives
I like taking pictures of recurring architectural perspectives. (Perhaps I saw too many M.C. Escher prints when I was younger). This is a fairly ordinary 60s staircase but I like the way the light catches down the tower.
This staircase leads up to a toilet with this curious sign on the mirror above the basins. The red “HOT WATER” has faded somewhat but there is a certain ambiguity about it; it might be hot, or perhaps not (maybe hot, maybe not!). Stick your hand under it and find out..

It’s when they say ‘Very Hot’ and I think, ‘nah, it can’t be that hot,’ and stick my hand under it …
