The spiral staircase from the lighthouse captures the theme of the week... the eyes of the viewer naturally follow the flow of the stairs as they rise from the bottom edge to the top edge of the picture.

As soon as I saw this week's theme, I knew we would get a set of spiral stairs. This one is excellent.
