Weekly Photo Challenge - Stairs

**ses5909** · Nov 10, 2007, 15:28

I'm excited for this one. I should have some pictures on time this week

This does sound like a wonderful theme. I hope to catch a few stairs here, we do not have many, but I am really bogged down in my work right now. I look forward to the different stairs people will show.

Here are a few from me:

Wonderful -- I love the first stair best. Simple, elegant without being sterile. A beautiful curve.. Stairs can be so dramatic, no wonder wedding photos are often staged on them

A quick one from me. I'll try to get some more shots later this week

Nice Andy, I want to take a walk there right away. I love this kind of thing

Wow H. Some nice shots of so many varied stairs. The escalator is my favorite one. I love the way the architectural elements create the mood. The curves

**akritic** · Nov 13, 2007, 09:57

You're a stairs affectionado Stephan

I concur! These are all great and really fun to look at.

Uhh, that is nice jantheman. Where is that?

An 11th century village called Sermoneta, south of Rome. It is perched really high up in the hills and has sweeping views across the plain to the sea. We stayed there for a week earlier this year - it was magical!

Yes, these old cities up hills in Italy and Europe in general are something to behold. It is always hard to believe that people in the old times built these massive structures without the help we have today.

Italy leaves everybody with great memories I think. I have mine, and they are wonderful to have.
