    I was in the park with my 8yr old daughter at around 10am. We are having some challenges in life as a family.

    I was attracted by the neon pink handrails on the stairs, that provide an alternative way up to the platform from street level, and took a few images around the base and on the stairs, before photographing the stark rectangular lift doors. It was a lucky encounter with the woman and her umbrella using the stairs. A little colour grading in Lightroom to cool the shadows and a 16 x 9 crop made it look more cinematic.
