I took this photo recently, and like it a lot, but am stumped at thinking up a title after 3 days... Any suggestions?

Wow I love it. What is that installation called?

For the title, something about Tetris, or a maze?

'Always down and never left or right.'

Great shot! No title is hitting me at the moment.

Damn that is a great shot.

My titles usually suck- I just name the elements I see in the pic. If this was mine I'd call it "pattern walking" or "walking angles."

"Tilt"

The wall with the lights is the escalator wall, going up 4 floors:

The pattern of lights make me think of plus signs that didn't quite come out right. And that in turn makes me think of titles like "defective arithmetic" or "arithmetic overflow".

Or maybe just "the plus side" or "the positive side".

I trust it is now apparent why I don't even try to come up with titles for my photos.

I don't know what to call it, but I might have to buy a print, if you put it for sale.

All I could think of right away was something about the Puzzle Palace.

gaspode: I can't play scrabble, but I can make prints. I'll make you a limited edition :)

Don't have a name for you. But hey, those are nice shots there pjern.

I still think it looks like Tetris.

To me, the power of the pic is not in the light wall at all, but in the girl.

I would call it,
"Stood up in front of modern art"

How about Orthogonal Walk ?

The figures on the escalator wall are polyominoes, specifically: monominoes, dominoes, and trominoes — so one possibility is something related to that... Polyminoes Progess, Polymino Rain, or maybe even just "Monominoes, Dominoes, Trominoes."

'Passerby' or 'The Art-Lover'.
