Light and Dark...

Light and Dark..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I took this photo after just two weeks of owning my Sony A200.

This was taken in the Historic Courthouse In St Louis. I thought that it was neat with the contrasting light and darkness as well as the staircase was wrought iron. It really made me think about the history behind the stairwell and i wondered who might have walked up and down it. This picture turned out much better than it should have considering that i only had the camera about 2 weeks at that point.
