I remember the famous photographs and your title is perfect. Well spotted and interpreted. The names have left the building.
The chairs have something of the shape of big men with presence, an elbow on each arm rest and a cigar in the hand. Something like cafe chairs wouldn't have carried the same significance.

In photographic terms, it isn't great. But what it has in bucket loads is atmosphere, in all senses of the word. It feels heavy and it feels damp. Semi tropical rain forest on a day the trees will love. Lots of trees, lots of cloud, lots of trees viewed through cloud, No hint of sun coming through. Soak it up.

We might be above the surface looking down, we might be below the surface looking up, we might be thinking of wave patterns on a beach. It flows in somewhat unpredictable ways.
However it strikes you, it suggests something of the nature of water. I like abstracts that can seize the essence of something and trigger responses as this photo does.

I think it's part of a stairwell. Like a metal grate flooring.

Thanks Mike.

You've seen exactly what I saw in the image right down to the cigars!

I think were remembering the famous photo of the Yalta Conference in 1945 with Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin.
