A simple little composition. Normally I would have located the steps to the lower right of the frame but that would have lost the warm light on the golden sea oats to the left.
The point of the steps is to keep people off the barrier dunes which are the only line of defense against storms and flood tides. Taken at Southern Shores, NC on the Outer Banks of NC
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a Stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your Stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven

Three image panoramic view of the town of Kaneohe on the windward side of Oahu. Taken during my crazy hike up the middle ridge of Maunalua Valley to the top of the Haiku Stairs, down the stairs, back up to the top, and then hiked back out to Maunalua Valley. Almost 12 miles with over 4500ft of elevation gain in 8hr 15min. My legs are feeling it today!

Now that I recollect that day the Led Zeppelin song "Stairway to Heaven" could not be better associated with 0O.
Listen to Stairway to Heaven
The Milky Way is one great sight to see. There isn't many words that could describe its sear beauty.
Any love is good love
So I took what I could get, yes, I took what I could get
And then, and then, and then she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said
You ain't seen nothin' yet
Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something,
here's something, mama, you're never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nu-nu-nu-nothin' yet
You ain't been around

The Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb is an exhilarating experience and highly recommended. After several missed attempts, I finally climbed it this week. The views were gorgeous. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to take your own camera to the climb - so here is a shot from the other side. (They do take your pictures and sell them to you at outrageous prices!)
See more black on blue.

Stairway to Heaven is up there as one of my favorite photos that I've taken. It was taken during the 2014 Winter season at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and clearly shows the LIDAR beams going into the atmosphere from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Atmospheric Research Observatory's roof.
reaching the sanctuary is as demanding as it seems: starting from the bottom of the valley, near the village of Brentino you climb a narrow staircase carved into the rocky mountain wall which is 1500 steps long for a difference in height of 600 meters

...but later named the Brandon Hospital for Mental Diseases, and again renamed Brandon Mental Health Center, this is the Pine Ridge Building that forms
part of the expansive structures of this complex situated on the north hill at Brandon Manitoba.
No longer used for the reasons built, the facilities are slowly being renovated and will hopefully be of productive use in the community.
The title is probably a bit of a leap :-) But the 3 flowers offset one from another on the right seemed to be leading up to the blossom center left. It's a bit of a leap from the stairway to the top but I suppose we might think of heaven as being a bit of a leap! You might like viewing it large on black. View On Black
Happy Monday to everyone and hope you have a great week!

Not many aircraft these days boast a stairs to another deck, but this is the Airbus 380, truely a double decker.
This is the less glamorous stairs at the rear of the aircraft, but with some very snazzy lighting, its a real treat heading upwards. The front version is on "another level " entirely.
British Airways have been begun operating their A380's again since grounding during the Covid-19 pandemic, using them on daily trips to Madrid & Frankfurt, a real treat for enthusiasts during November/ December 2021.
Special thanks to Sophie, Marie & Philip, BA cabin crew for taking great care of me that day, what an experience.
Great to see the A380 back again #WelcomeBack
who imagined
how many hours
how many hands
how much sweat
to create this spiral of stairs
just a little place to dream
Ariete: "Spesso le buone rappresentazioni della realtà diventano più importanti della realtà stessa", scrive W. Daniel Hillis sulla pagina web del World question center. Tra gli esempi cita le banconote che hanno sostituito l'oro, i quadri che hanno più valore dei paesaggi raffigurati e la celebrità raggiunta con un grande successo che fa passare in secondo piano il motivo per cui qualcuno è diventato famoso. Nei prossimi giorni dovresti riflettere su come questo fenomeno influisce sulla tua vita, e se è all'origine di qualche alterazione da correggere. Prova a chiederti se ti sei concentrato così tanto sulla mappa da dimenticare di osservare il territorio.
Succede esattamente così. Che un po’ m’inganno. Mai stata troppo brava a focalizzare la realtà io. Che quello che ho in testa a pensarci bene neanche esiste. Che neanche esisti.
Ma poi importa poco. Chè questo sarà anche il mio oroscopo e DioSoloSa perché il più delle volte ci prende, ma lo è –e magari ci prende anche ma- solo fino a domani.
E poi io oggi sto proprio bene.
Anche se.
Fa un cazzo di caldo immobile qui dentro.
Esco, a cercare un po’ d’aria.
A little creative piece I put together from some of the many smoke photography images I have taken in the past few weeks. It's something a little unusual.
Inspiration from Mehmet Ozgur.

This is an experiment in using the vanishing point feature in Photoshop.
I created a perspective plane over a photo of some steps.
Then I used one of my star shot photos from last years trip to the Flinders Ranges.
Once the perspective plane gets defined, the star image gets copied onto this perspective plane of the steps, all in the correct perspective..
I had the idea of creating this image with the title 'Stairway to heaven' in mind and the image displayed as if it was over a set of giant steps.
The man silhouettes is a free file I downloaded from Adobe free resources. I modified the light beam to suit. (not in perspective)
I watched this tutorial on 'Add Graphics to Complex Perspectives in Photoshop' www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py0dlOAUfp4 by the Guru of Photoshop, Unmesh Dinda.
