"It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward."
Quote - Chinese proverb
A visit in the Mercedes-Benz Museum
Wat Saket is a Buddhist temple in the Bangkok Old Town area built 1737–1809. There are 300 steps to the top, but for me, the golden view was from the ground.
I have commented before about planning my steps due to bubbles left behind. Similar to leaving footprints in the sand. Notice the waves / ripples have gone yet the bubbles remain.
This scene is completely changed due to my walk through the water.

Spanish steps (Edited)
Its Italian name is “Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti” and composed of 12 ramps and 135 travertine steps, it is considered the widest and longest staircase of Europe, welcoming millions of tourists and Romans who visit at all times of the day.
The ‘Spanish steps’ in Rome, built in Rococo style between 1723 and 1726, are the steps that lead from the Piazza di Spagna square to the French monastery church Trinita dei Monti (built between 1502–1587). There are 135 steps and three different terraces, referring to the Holy Trinity (the Trinità). The top of the stairs near the Egyptian obelisk offers a beautiful view, albeit one shared with throngs of other tourists. The name can be a bit confusing, as the construction of the steps was actually commissioned by the French (Louis XII). In the 17th century, the Spanish embassy was located on the square – ‘Piazza di Spagna’ – at the base of the stairs, hence the name ‘Spanish Steps’. The official name is therefore not Spanish steps, but Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti.
