Pisa, Italy
These were the steps leading up to the tip of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. So worn down by hundreds of feet everyday.. Kind of disorienting at first as obviously the spiral staircases are tilted too!

Haiku Stairs, aka Stairway to Heaven - H3 makes its way out of the Ko'olau Mountains through the Tetsuo Harano Tunnels.
The boaters hesitated as another pair of boats was heading down from the opposite direction, but were several locks away (as we were able to tell them). Another single boat had gone ahead of these two and was a couple of locks further along, so this lock was at the high water level. The level had to be dropped before these two boats could enter the lock.
This was a lovel sunny and warm Saturday morning, and this was the busiest we'd seen the locks so far - a real delight to see.
Whatever happened today, I was going to walk down the flight in the direction of Warwick, but first knowing that that the railway parallels the canal for some distance I decided to start in the other direction to see if there was anywhere to shoot the canal and the railway at the same time. As it turns out there isn't and as I span on my heels to walk in the opposite direction a Lawley St, bound Intermodal shot past which helped to prove the point once and for all. To take this picture, I crossed over the old lock across the top of the gates to gain access to the far side of the new lock. The old locks interestingly now act as sluices.
The set of 124 marble steps (122 if you start on the right side) was built by Simeone Andreozzi. It is thought that the steps were taken from the Quirinal Hill, where they led to Emperor Aurelian's Temple of Sol Invictus (Temple of the Unconquered Sun). The staircase is often called 'Stairway to heaven' since it leads to the Altar of Heaven.
