Sometimes I can be obsessed with something: A ceiling.

[Michael Nagel]

There are things that can draw one's attention over a longer timespan. For me this is a ceiling of an underground station in Munich. The following photos are taken within a time frame of 3 years using four different cameras. I do not have an explanation, but look for yourself:

Now there are three different takes of the same section, I call it variations of a theme, as suggests the title of the last shot.

Michael,

I can understand how you would want to revisit this scene again and again. I thought, at first, that all the surfaces were made of preformed flat metal sheets, albeit corrugated. The additional curves you reveal here were unexpected and a pleasant surprise.

I feel that there's a lot more to discover. I see even quite interesting potential compositions in parts of your last group of pictures, where the lights are seen against the darkness.
