Niedermeyer in snow

I think I was initially attracted by the graceful curve of the stairway to the old Niedermeyer Hotel.  The interplay between the rigid linearity of the iron handrail and the delicate, playful curvature of the concrete forms flanking the edges was something that demanded my attention.  I've tried to photograph this stairway before, but was unable to do it any justice until it was nearly covered in snow.
