This took painstakingly long time to make.
Its a composite of paint drops in water, and a bunch of genereated clouds in SD 1.5.

Yes, I think I will take this Stairway to Heaven
So many choices to make
So many turns to take
So many paths to choose from
But I think I stick to this one
It does seem like a
Highway to Heaven, doesn't it
At least for a while
Testing it out
Is this where I belong
No plans are being made
Sometimes I have no control about what is going to happen
Patiently as I go, step by step
Tasting what is out there for me
It's definitely exciting
Heaven is there
In some form or the other
And what is Heaven by the way
That is individual, I think
I'm of course not talking about religion, I never do
My Heaven is when I am in balance
Being enlightened
Thankful for what has been, what is and what there is to come
A place where I feel respect for myself
A place where acceptance and love for myself is up front
A place where I can deal with stuff without anger or other emotions
A place where I can feel joy and happiness
A place where I feel loved,
And last but not the least, a place where I can give love
It's all about balance, we shal be given love and we shal receive
We are all worthy love
I wonder if I am in Heaven already, lol
At least on my way, that is for sure
The effect of the facade of the Institut du Monde Arabe the is like a giant Islamic pierced screen, giving great significance and an audacious brilliance to this remarkable building. From the inside it is like looking into the light and seeing a "Stairway to heaven".
On an other level it reminds me of "Ascending and Descending" a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher
Behold the genteel decay... all big and large and dark and grimy.
A detail from, yet again my friends, Baynard House - I'm sure that some folk will be dead chuffed that there is decay and that the structure is crumbling... but I should point out that this is a relatively small area so don't hold your breath.
I know nothing about the decay of concrete or what causes this, but my intuition is that this is water damage with the browny orangy mucky discolouration due to some steel reinforcements which are rusting away...
... this aside, there's something delicious about the patterns created and the tiny stalactites dangling off the ledge.
If you're a stalwart of reading my drivel you may as well move on now.. there's nothing more here.. but if you've got a touch of insomnia or are curious about what I'm rambling about then do read on.
Step forward Baynard House home to the Freaky Baby Sculpture Thing.
Designed by William Holford it is a classic example Brutalist architecture and was once described by George Ferguson of the Royal Institute of British Architects as "more akin to a car park than an office building" which illustrates how it's not exactly everyone's cup of tea. George disliked it so much that he wanted it included in the so-called "Grade X" listing of buildings which should be demolished.
Calm down dear!
The fact that he didn't want the beheamouth which is the Faraday Building opposite, which dwarfs St Pauls, demolished is curious to say the least as that building is the one which inspired the "no higher than three stories" legislation for buildings around the cathedral. Baynard House complies with this.
Anyway, the real claim to fame is that the building was home to the first System X telephone exchange which ran in tandem with an existing electro-mechanical exchange in the same building and switched between around 40 of London's telephone exchanges.
Revealed in 1979 in Geneva, System X went live on July 1st 1981 amid much fanfare which pretty much fell flat since the details had been known for two years already. A journalist of the time headlined the go-live with "System X is alive and Yellow" which was his lasting impression of the reveal - the yellow referring to the "off-custard" colour of the cabinets the equipment was in, which previously had been grey.
Personally I love Brutalist architecture and flick my bogey's at the like of George and Prince Charles when they openly rail against it. I love it as much as I love Victorian architecture, modern architecture and indeed any kind of design which stimulates the old brain and makes me think. The only architecture I don't like is the unispiring cookie-cutter designs of housing and 'challenging developments' unsympathetic with their surroundings... both of which are unfortunately in abundance across the UK.
Enjoy

"Vicolo Stretto" è l'effettivo nome di questo singolare viottolo, il suo ingresso dalla parte di corso Umbetto è inderiore ad un metro e mantiene questa larghezza per tutto il suo percorso
The untitled fourth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV, was released on 8 November 1971 by Atlantic Records. It was produced by guitarist Jimmy Page and recorded between December 1970 and February 1971, mostly in the country house Headley Grange.
As with prior albums, most of the material was written by the band, though there was one cover song, a hard rock re-interpretation of the Memphis Minnie blues song "When the Levee Breaks".
The album was a commercial and critical success and is Led Zeppelin's best-selling, shipping over 37 million copies worldwide. It is one of the best-selling albums in the US, while critics have regularly placed it highly on lists of the greatest albums of all time.
"Stairway to Heaven" was mostly written by Page, and the bulk of the chord sequence was already worked out when recording started at Basing Street Studios. The lyrics were written by Plant at Headley Grange, about a woman who "took everything without giving anything back". The final take of the song was recorded at Island Studios after the Headley Grange session. The basic backing track featured Bonham on drums, Jones on electric piano and Page on acoustic guitar. The whole group contributed to the arrangement, such as Jones playing recorders on the introduction, and Bonham's distinctive drum entry halfway through the piece. Page played the guitar solo using a Fender Telecaster he had received from Jeff Beck and been his main guitar on the group's first album and early live shows. He put down three different takes of the solo and picked the best to put on the album.
The song was considered the standout track on the album and was played on FM radio stations frequently, but the group resisted all suggestions to release it as a single. It became the centrepiece of the group's live set from 1971 onwards; in order to replicate the changes between acoustic, electric and twelve-string guitar on the studio recording, Page played a Gibson EDS-1275 double-neck guitar during the song.

Happy 50th anniversary Led Zeppelin IV!
One of the most beautiful cover versions: youtu.be/LFxOaDeJmXk
I'm sure you all know that song:
"Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?"
I'm back from a shot trip to Zeeland/Netherlands. It was cold and wonderful. Wish you all a fantastic wintertime...
Let me introduce the place. Stairway to Heaven. It's a place that starts in Glenwood NJ, where you hike boardwalks and enjoy beautiful views. Hopefully shown that beauty on the pictures :)

There is something so appealing about a stairway to the forest.....it seems to promise adventure and intrigue and so much more.
I hope you'll click on the photo and view the larger size so you can allow your own mind a quick trip up these stairs....
A short Earls Court Live 2min 35 sec clip of the Led Zeppelin classic. Stairway to heaven
A nice section of the track if you get time to listen :o)
I have shots without people but thought that these two added a bit of interest.
The Haiku Stairs, also known as the Stairway to Heaven, is an insanely narrow and steep series of steps that cover 2,500 vertical feet up the mountain near Kaneohe, HI. They were constructed by the military during World War II and access a radio transceiver station at the top.
Now, access to the trail is restricted. It's one of those odd situations that only happens in Hawaii. It's not illegal to hike the steps, but a private guard is posted at the trailhead to turn back hikers. The guard will stop people from starting the trail, but he is perfectly friendly to people exiting it after they finish. Normally people hike up in the dark and catch sunrise at the top, but people report being turned back as early as 1 AM. We arrived at the stairs around 3:30 AM, the guard hadn't arrived yet, and we started climbing.
The entire hike up was dark, wet, windy, and in the clouds, and we arrived at the radio transceiver station two hours before sunrise. Here I'm hiking down the stairs, with the city of Kaneohe in the background. The clouds cleared over the city, but were forming on the ridge of the stairs. It was odd hiking down with clear skies on one side and pure fog/cloud on the other.
