Spot light

Twice a year, fall and spring, the light hits just right in midafternoon to illuminate a spot in the stairwell.

Downstairs, of course, it's the all-prisms light show that I noticed last year when the sun hits the dining-room chandelier with full force.

This one was more subtle -- or at least I hadn't noticed it until long after I put up a giclee of a picture I took at Mallory Square a year ago.
