I honestly can’t remember what this flight of stairs lead to. It’s probably a slide. Anyway, if you do know what it is, tell me. It’s the thing by the bay side in Mall of Asia’s grounds. The one near “Wall-E”.

I gave “Obstacles and Journeys” as the title because this is from a kid’s playground (me thinks so) and this, for me, symbolizes a kid’s journey as well as obstacle. It is the kid’s journey to get to the top, so that he/she can achieve his/her goal. It’s also an obstacle since climbing a flight of stairs, even if it’s just 4 steps, can be very daunting for a 2 year old.

I post processed the shot to have a lower saturation. I also increased the contrast a lot so that the grain and unevenness of the metal is obvious.
