Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Hallways

Cee says: "This series I call Odd Twists meaning we are looking for the bizarre and the common things we don’t always take photos of. This week the topic is Hallways.  Hallways come in all sizes and uses.  They are usually thought of as indoor, but don’t forget about hallways that are outdoors and underground.  Hallways usually have some great repetitive lines and shapes. "

The MAAT in Lisbon provided the perfect photo for this week’s challenge. I don’t usually take photos of hallways, but this one caught my attention – it’s a stark white space with stairs that disappear into where…? Hmmm…mysterious…

The Rua Da Academia das Ciências in Lisbon is a narrow lane 100m from our family’s abode. Cars that turn into it have to slow down to navigate the sharp turn and pedestrians hug the wall to let the cars pass. The arch and the bridge a bit further on used to connect a convent and a church many centuries ago. It is rumoured that the priests secretly used the bridge at night to visit the nuns.
