Only after opening up this photo for editing did I notice that the stairs lead to a cafe called "Morii". The word looked familiar, but in a somewhat ominous way, as it reminded me of "Memento Mori". So I looked it up, and interestingly enough, it has two meanings: either "The desire to capture a fleeting experience" (from the Latin verb "morior" meaning "to die"), which, fittingly enough, describes what I do when I photograph clouds and such; or -- "I died". My guess is the latter is not the intended meaning.
