stairs and shadows

Saw this great pic on flickr. Especially the lines of the stairs and the shadow they cast have me spellbound; how does this happen, where does the light come from exactly? It seems to bend.

EDIT: a colleague way smarter than i am, i.e. an IQ above 80, figured the staircase followed the building, which is round, hence the strange shifting shadow.
