I don't usually do stairs Saturdays, but when I saw this one, it was just to good to pass up. It looks like I'm in a jungle but it's just my little town..;) Went to lunch with friends and since I was early, I decided to take some pics of the neighborhood
Hope your weekend is going well
A side shot of the stairs at the Cathedral Quarter Hotel in Derby.
I was drawn to the lines seen at this angle and metered for the light on the stairs in order to get a dark border to the shot.
Церковь Покрова на Нерли внесена в Список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.
Когда пишут и говорят об этом храме, обычно приводят слова Игоря Грабаря: «Церковь Покрова на Нерли близ Владимира является не только самым совершенным храмом, созданным на Руси, но и одним из величайших памятников мирового искусства».
Храм был возведен за один год в 1165 году князем Андреем Боголюбским.
Во времена своей «молодости» храм выглядел иначе, а холм-пьедестал, является делом рук человеческих.
Подземная часть храма составляет 5,30 м . В устье Нерли вырос искусственный холм, ставший пьедесталом для церкви Покрова и предохраняющий ее от коварных весенних вод. Холм был покрыт панцирем из белокаменных плит с водосточными желобами и лестницами, сбегающими к пристани.
Пропорции храма необыкновенно изящны и красивы. Часто этот храм сравнивают с образом красной девицы Здесь все направлено на достижение эффекта максимальной стройности и высоты. Множество деталей, еле уловимых, очень деликатных, подчеркивают вертикальную ось сооружения.
The Church of the Intercession on the Nerl, a UNESCO world heritage site.
When you write and say about this temple, usually cite the words of Igor Grabar, "the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl near Vladimir is not only the most perfect temple, created in Russia, but also one of the greatest monuments of world art".
The temple was erected in one year in 1165 by Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky.
In the days of his "youth" the temple looked different, and the hill-a pedestal, is the work of human hands.
The underground part of the temple is 5,30 m . At the mouth of the Nerl rose artificial hill, which has become the pedestal for the Church of the Intercession and protect it from the treacherous waters of the spring. The hill was covered with a shell of white stone slabs with gutters and stairs leading down to the Marina.
The proportions of the temple are unusually graceful and beautiful. Often this temple is compared with the image of maiden Here everything is directed on achieving maximal effect of slenderness and height. Many parts, subtle, very delicate, emphasize the vertical axis of the construction.

“Stairs," Valkyrie said, disappointed.
"Not just ordinary stairs," Skulduggery told her as he led the way down. "Magic stairs."
"Really?"
"Oh, yes."
She followed him into the darkness. "How are they magic?"
"They just are."
"In what way?"
"In a magicky way."
She glared at the back of his head. "They aren't magic at all, are they?"
"Not really.”
