Images of the underworld, emergence of the new year from the dark


This photo was taken six floors aboveground, but it feels like the exit ramp from Hades, the path that Persephone must have taken in her annual escape from the underworld. The light slants down the walkway at a precise angle parallel to the cement surface, something that happens at this exact time of day only twice yearly, a kind of parking ramp equinox. The day grows longer, even if the distance from hell to spring seems longer yet.
