Garish windows

The two landscape windows are from Birmingham, the portrait one from Bamburgh. They were beautiful all by themselves but rather dull, dark grey with the window panes hardly showing. Let’s go for highlighting these beauties!

Monday Window.

There is no elevator

016 stairs 3 (480x640)
Stairs leading to the castle ruin Windeck in Weinheim.

Bavaria
Stairs leading up to the statue of Bavaria from the Oktoberfestplatz in Munich.

016 stairs 1 (480x640)
Stairs in Mainz leading to the Oberstadt.

016 stairs 4 (640x480)
Stairs in the dunes behind Bamburgh Castle.

Stairs are paths, too.

For Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge.  More paths, streets, roads, etc. can be found here.

Step up – or down

Cee’s Black and White challenge asks for steps and stairs.  Most of my choices are outdoor steps.

Nature versus city, the dunes near Bamburgh Castle in the Northeast of England versus steps in Mainz, Germany.

 

Steps as seats – both in Birmingham.  Thomas Attwood on the steps of Chamberlain square who fought for full employment and better democractic representation and city workers on their break (of which Thomas Attwood would have approved).

These rather spidery steps lead over an area which is left untouched to show how nature is recovering after the devastation left behind by the hurricane Lothar which swept through the area in 1999 . The steps on the left are from Edinburgh, Scotland.

 

The New Steps

The New Steps is a street (with steps) in Edingburgh.

 

And these are new steps in metal, rather than stone.  Going up the spiral stairs near the Biosphärenhaus in the Pfälzer Wald, and going down to the subway in Munich.
