Here is Al, on the stairway to our kitty cabin! (I beat him to the top in order to snap a few shots before he followed me. LOL! )
Reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's rock masterpiece, "Stairway to Heaven!"

And my spirit is crying for leaving....
Another image for our poem/lyrics challenge with Eli... This image is based on the lyrics of "Stairway to heaven" by Led Zeppelin. I'm not completely sure what they are singing about, but I still have very strong visuals in my head for different parts of the song. My visual image for this part has this same theme but much more dramatic backdrop... I was pleasantly surprised how well the ordinary scene worked, IMO...
Take a look at Eli's shot : www.flickr.com/photos/elirees/13364795715/

View looking up the Haiku Stairs, also known as the Stairway to Heaven hike. Beginning in 1942, contractors for the United States Navy began construction of the Haʻikū Radio Station, a top secret facility that was to be used to transmit radio signals to the Navy ships that were then operating throughout the Pacific. In order to obtain the necessary height for the antennae, the Navy stretched them across Haiku Valley, a natural amphitheater surrounded by high ridges. To accomplish this, they needed “easy” access to the top of the ridges, so they installed a wooden ladder up the mountain. The ladder was later replaced by a wooden staircase. Once the cable car was in operation, most workers preferred to ride the car to the upper hoist house rather than enduring the tedious climb up the stairs. Some remnant parts of the wooden ladder may still be seen beside the metal steps. The radio station was commissioned in 1943. To transmit such a powerful signal, the Navy needed a transmitter of greater capability than was then possible with vacuum tube technology. They therefore decided upon an Alexanderson alternator, a huge device capable of generating powerful radio-frequency signals, and requiring an antenna of heroic proportions.

This is one of the so called "Kranhäuser" (crane houses) on the bank of the Rhine in Cologne, super-modern blocks of flats and offices. This photo has not been mirrored or flipped, this is the actual view I had (I was laying on my back, though).

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 ooh 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
Oh whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-oh
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
And there's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Oh, whoa
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, yeah
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Cuilcagh is a mountain on the border between County Fermanagh and County Cavan. With a height of 665 metres it is the highest point in both counties. It is also the 170th highest peak on the island of Ireland, and Ireland's only cross-border county top

When I was small I saw a program about how elephants wander off away from their herd to die - and I remember being overcome with sadness about these beautiful creatures dying alone :-( Strange how some memories stay with you :-)

Brua, The Fredrikstad Bridge, is being given a major makeover/maintenance job. Scheduled to take three years, and this is a shot of scaffolding (so far) on the western foundations.
10mm wide angle shot. Lens flare is (unexpected) bonus.
