 Thanks Robert, Roz, Anita and Tim for the accolade.
 It was a segment and its shadow of the underside of a stair. A glance and one click of the camera. Like always, one shot of the first impression. The shadows are the risers, the treads the black portions of their undersides.

 Lev I stick to my "vertebrates" (just semantics);
 1. Having a backbone or spinal column.
 2. Of or characteristic of vertebrates or a vertebrate.
 n.
 Any of numerous chordate animals of the subphylum Vertebrata, characterized by a segmented spinal column and a distinct well-differentiated head. The vertebrates include the fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
 
 "Vertebrae" is only one section: n, pl -brae (-briː) or -bras
 (Anatomy) one of the bony segments of the spinal column
