Eleven

I was captivated by the idea of Eleven on a sunny summer day in Milwaukee. The narrow alley presented a challenge in taking the photo along with the heat of the afternoon.
It occurred to me that should anyone need to use these stairs in the event of a fire, afternoon heat compared to the risk would be negligible while using them would include a significant risk on its own.
The stairs are blue which I think is interesting and I wonder why the designer of the non-descript building located on a backstreet intended that or if the color was simply less expensive than other options.
It’s up to you to wonder as well.
