I decided to share this image for the upcoming #macromondays theme called #spiral
A spiral is a curve that starts from a central point and winds around it, moving progressively farther (or closer) from the center with each turn. Unlike a circle, which maintains a constant radius, a spiral’s radius either increases or decreases as the curve revolves around the center. Spirals can be found almost everywhere in the natural world, human creations, and abstract ideas.

.. sometimes mental and or physical stress is speeding up the stress spiral and one is easily trapped in the centre of the stress machine. However, relaxation after each exertion should keep the balance.
😄 Happy Monochrome Thursday 😄

The oft-photographed spiral staircase was completed in 2008 as part of the Art Gallery of Ontario renovation project in Toronto. I finally succumbed to its passage with my camera. Designed by Frank Gehry.

Louis XIV's magnificent chateau evolved in three major phases. The Sun King first intended Versailles to be a retreat from the responsibilities of government. Between 1661 and 1668, the architect Louis Le Vau (1612–1670), the gardener AndréLeNôtre (1613–1700), and the painter Charles Le Brun (1619–1690) collaborated to create a palace suitable for the Sun King to entertain favoured courtiers. When Louis XIV decided in 1668 that Versailles was to become a royal residence, able to house his full court for months at a time, he ordered extensive additions.
