Luminous Arches

Leica M3, Leitz 50mm f2.8

Arched walkways are called "cloisters" in churches. Do they have a name in regular buildings? Hmmm.

This is in the SF Art Institute.

BTW, has anyone noticed that all these different shots were done with a single focal length (50mm)? Maybe you should try it too?

Yes. The prime lens shows a timeless sense of place and being, knowing approximately where the photographer was in the scene.

Also, the lack of optical distortions is obvious and a welcome change.
