How come?! I am having that phrase in my mind like a post-it note since a couple of days… without any reason I can recall…
And now you post this… what´s going on in our collective (un)conscious… ¿?

ECHO, Echo, echo, echo….
Ah, a Van Halen fan – showing your age now Steve (as am I). A 5D is a lot of money to dangle over an elevator shaft. Very cool view though.

Discovered using FlickrFox. (?) -
He must know something about that hook that I don’t! I’d think that hook would point upwards!
Anyways, quite a cool shot. Can see at least 15 floors, maybe as many as 30.
P.S. Ah, maybe it is the shaft curving at the distance too.. But I can’t come up with an argument for what direction "outward" is, to say whether the building is shrinking or growing in the distance..

Were you at the first floor Steve ?
If so..it could have to do with the yellow cable. It start from the "right side"..then climb all over the bulding in the opposit direction (Doors side?)Or maybe he know a "secret" flickr tool, that can track down and show you which side of the picture is top and down by the way small piece of rocks are falling… 😛

I think what I saw as the curving shaft is actually details on the car. I think we are looking up to a car 30 floors above us, and we’re seeing shiny something on the bottom of the elevator car, reflecting the florescent lights up there. It’s somewhat defensible as the bottom, if indeed that’s the car we see, because that stuff would get in the way of the escape hatch on top that we see in Action movies.

*groan* Good catch chadh! Absolutely true. I’ve been HAD. Great straight face there Steve, letting us go down the path you laid for us without really supporting the decisions! And the Exif data lead us down that same path, rotated while keeping the same exif… What a great excersize on shifting perspective. I was so sure forward into the picture was up or down!

Thanks for reminding us :
What you see is not what there is. We are so use to see and believe what we see, or what other people believe and may say…that we lost sometime the importance to restart thinking from the begining all the way up to the "solution". I feel stupid…but so refreshing and happy at the same time to remember that : )
Thanks for getting us lost Steve ; )

@jpctalbot: It looks a little empty for a particle accelerator. Those tunnels tend to be fairly crowded….
As soon as I turn my head to "rotate" the photo to the correct orientation, it looks so much more familiar and I can immediately see what is going on. And yet before others pointed it out, I hadn’t thought to rotate my head that way and I didn’t realize it was a rotated photo. Nice piece of trickery, Steve. 🙂

oh… and I trust him so much that I saw the title, read the tag "abyss" and didn´t think of checking twice the pic…
You may call it "ingenuity", I call it "strong taste for magic". =)
