When going on a photo walk there is always a sense of discovering the unexpected.

Generally there is plenty of time to observe, visualize and then capture each image but there are also the unexpected surprises when suddenly a moment is there and gone.

This chance image of a young child climbing a set of stairs was just such a surprise. I noticed, framed, got one shot and then the moment was gone
