The precipitous hairpins of Jacob’s Ladder make up one of the most dangerous stretches of road in Australia. Constructed in 1963 the road winds its way up between a break in the walls of dolerite to an extensive plateau above 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) altitude that makes up Ben Lomond. The highest spur on the plateau itself is Legges Tor, at 1,572 metres (5,157 ft). Ben Lomond is located east of Launceston in the Ben Lomond National Park, Tasmania. Australia

I had to be fast, because it started to rain again and gravel ladders can't stand rain :)
Wonky ladder at the

Trefor Beach is situated on the north coast of the picturesque Llyn Peninsula. Set in front of the little fishing village of Trefor the beach here has a spectacular backdrop of the mountains of Snowdonia.
There are several favourite perennials in my garden and this is one of them. It is called Jacob's Ladder because the foliage resembles rungs on a ladder. The ladder symbolizes a bridge between Heaven and Earth, so some people even call it Stairway to Heaven. However, I just love the dainty foliage and bloom. The blossoms sit on very thin stems so they really do sway beautifully in a breeze.

Stairway to Heaven, c'te référence de boomers, se diront les quelques jeunes qui passeront dans le coin.
Oui bon eh oh hein bon.
J'suis l'enfant de deux boomers, mais au moins eux ont un goût certain en musique !
Et encore, j'aurais pu trouver une référence obscure à une obscure pièce de viole de gambe ou d'ars nova, si je leur avais demandé un coup de main, alors ne vous plaignez pas...!
Quoi qu'il en soit ce personnage sur le toit s'apprête à gravir son échelle vers le paradis.
Faute d'ascenseur social, on a des échelles !
A hard day, a very hard day. We must learn to shoulder our Massenschicksal [common fate]; everyone who seeks to save himself must surely realize that if he does not go another must take his place. As if it really mattered which of us goes. Ours is now a common destiny, and that is something we must not forget. A very hard day. But I keep fijinding myself in prayer.
And that is something I shall always be able to do, even in the smallest space: pray. And that part of our Massenschicksal that I must shoulder myself; I strap it tightly and fijirmly to my back, it becomes part of me as I walk through the streets even now.

When my pencil tip's broken and my brain is too
All I've got to do is climb the ladder to you
Climb the ladder
When I feel like an oar in a sunken canoe
All I've got to do is climb the ladder to you
Climb the ladder to you
All of these faces are crowding around me
Like grey paint caked on a flower
But they have no impact, no value, no power
Knowing I'm safe in your tower
Cavendish Road, a street in Markyate village (Hertfordshire) flanked by 1930s semi-detached homes. For "first-time buyers", this type of home used to be affordable and, therefore, the first step on the "housing ladder". In today's Britain, however, and in may parts of Europe in fact, young people are increasingly unable to afford the purchase of even small homes as prices have rocketed. Renting such homes is not only expensive, perhaps even more expensive than paying off a mortgage, it also prevents young people from ever getting on the housing ladder. Dreams and expectations remain unfulfilled. And for that, we all will have to pay a price. Leica M8, Voigtlaender NC 1.4/35 (polariser).
Two strange ladders. Minneapolis construction project, over the Mississippi river. The left ladder is begging to be centered in the tunnel, but there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.
What's a ladder for if you can't get inside it? Unfortunately for me the space up there was just too narrow - kids only.
The light was great and I thought this would make a striking black and white with all those contrasts.
Looking back to see if I was watching it as it perched on a leaning tree trunk. The red cap is quite vibrant.
