Old steps

Olexander.. Excellent and thought  provoking work.. the subtle color V  sepia tones are arresting. the balance of  the subjects shoulders  against the bright rail is  neat.. Does it affect me ? .. yes.   Why 374.. ?  why is he looking  at a grating  with a half moon  on it?..  what are the triangular blocks?.. memorials  of his life ? .. or fallen friends ?..  Thanks for a late night think..
