About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a tall stone column standing on a set of wide steps. The column has a carved top and sits between two shorter pillars with plants growing around them. Trees and bushes fill the background, framing the scene like a garden. The steps lead up to the column, which looks old and weathered. The photo feels quiet, like a moment frozen in time.
