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
(Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven)

Um, what's up with Lady Liberty being upstaged by the freakin' "cloud stairs" into the heavens? hahaha I have to say I love that wacky natural cloud formation.

En penumbras, la falta de luz nos impide tomar los rumbos que nos lleven a buen destino. Un pequeño rayo de luz nos enceguece y nos hace tomar un camino cortado, un camino sin retorno....

A 3.550 metres d’alçada prop del cim del Teide hi ha aquest camí, que contrastat per els núvols provinents dels Alisis, que hi han mes avall, sembla ven be el “camí cap al cel!

A 3.550 metros de altura, en la ladera del Teide hay este camino, que realzado por las nubes provenientes de los Alisios que hay debajo, parece realmente el “Camino al cielo”

This is a sunset in downtown Baltimore taken from Federal Hill Park. Just to the left, but out of frame, is Camden Yards. The building reminds me of legos. :)
Played with this a bit in post-processing, but this actually is very close to what the sunset looked like (just a bit more vibrant).

Probably not quite heaven but this stairway does lead to the top of Brean Down which is a promontory off the coast of Somerset standing 320 feet (98 m) high and extending 1.5 miles (2 km) into the Bristol Channel at the eastern end of Bridgwater Bay between Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea..
.
Made of carboniferous limestone, it is a continuation of the Mendip Hills, and two further continuations are the small islands of Steep Holm and Flat Holm..
.
It is now owned by the National Trust, and is rich in wildlife, history and archaeology. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There are steep cliffs and, at its seaward point, a Brean Down Fort built in 1865 and then re-armed in the Second World War..
.
There is evidence of a pagan shrine at Brean Down dating from pre-Roman times which was re-established as a Romano-Celtic style temple in the mid-4th century and probably succeeded by a small late-4th century Christian oratory. Several Roman finds including gold coins of Augustus, Nero, and Drusus, two silver denarii of Vespasian and a Roman cornelian ring were found at the site during quarrying..
.
There is also evidence of an Iron age hill fort and prehistoric barrows and field systems.] One tradition holds that the bodies of the knights responsible for the assassination of Thomas Becket were returned to the island and buried there..
.
Brean Down Fort was built on the headland between 1864 and 1871 on the recommendations of the 1859 Royal Commission. It was the most southerly of a chain of defences across the Bristol Channel, protecting the access to Bristol and Cardiff. On the outbreak of World War II the fort was rearmed with two 6" ex-naval guns and machine gun posts were built on the Down. During WWII the site was also used as a test launch site for rockets and experimental weapons, and a large concrete arrow was constructed on the down to direct bombers to the practice range..
.
In the 1860s plans were laid for a deep water harbour on the northern shore of Brean Down. The foundation stones of the pier were laid, but the project was later abandoned after a large storm destroyed the foundations..
.
In 1897, following wireless transmissions from Lavernock Point in Wales and Flat Holm, Guglielmo Marconi moved his equipment to Brean Down and set a new distance record for wireless transmission over open sea..
.
In 1952 the former Axbridge Rural District Council gave the down to the National Trust to celebrate the "Festival of Britain". After restoring the fort, Sedgemoor District Council gave this to the trust as well in 2002..
.
Various proposals have been put forward to construct a Severn Barrage for tidal electricity production from Brean Down to Lavernock Point in south Wales..
.
"Stairway to Heaven" is the title of a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in late 1971. It was composed by guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant for the band's untitled fourth studio album (often referred to as Led Zeppelin IV). It is often referred to as one of the greatest rock songs of all time..
