I think the addition of some blocks in very light and very dark worked out well. All ready to sew this together :)

16.10.2015. Granite steps - Market Jew Street, Penzance.

The name Market Jew comes from the Cornish "Marghus Yow" meaning 'Thursday market'.

Steps leading up to an unused gate to the grounds of the Quirinale Palace in Rome.

The steps were made famous by Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 film, "The Battleship Potemkin." From the bottom, as in this photo, one can see only the steps. From the top one sees only the landings.

These are the steps at the back of the Podium shopping centre. Think the guy at the top of the steps thought I was a bit odd and he scuttled off!

Publicity still for "The 39 Steps".

 

Size: approx 10"x8".

Fantasy steps partly constructed from artificial stone on an iron or steel substructure. They are still perfectly useable. Made for Isaac Holden by French specialists around 1870. Holden Park, Oakworth.

This is a beautiful, windy, serene, quiet and desolate area, Snake River Canyon with Owyhee Mountain Range in the horizon.

 

I was in serene solitude, enjoying it all... Nearest human habitation is a small village called Kuna, Idaho, which is 22 miles to the North and Mountain Home AFB, 20 miles to the East. Both on Idaho State Highway 69, aka, Western Heritage Scenic Byway, which is, indeed, beautiful with wide expansive vista.

 

I was taking in the beautiful otherworldly scenic view and was also hoping to get a glimpse of a nesting pair of Raptors and the like as it also happens to be the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area, dedicated to famous conservationist, Morely Nelson. Every now and then I could hear the call of a Falcon but could not spot one.

 

Then came this 4x4, in there this young Love-Birds with an entourage of 4 Photographers/assistants. I had the feeling that it was an Engagement Photo Shoot as couples in romantic settings like to be left alone and nobody comes this far with 4 photographers/assistants just to hang-out and take romantic pics! Couples simply take "Selfies" with their i-Phones!!! So I greeted them with a smile and "Engagement (photo shoot)?" He replied with a smile "Just to hang out".

 

But I sure felt the moment right, about some time into the (Yet-to-be-declared-Engagement) Photo-Shoot, on the other side of the ledge, he proposed to her !!!! He got on his knees and all, proposed to her and then even added "You still have time to back out of it " as photographers were clicking away to their hearts-content... She was totally surprised, exclaimed something, which I could not hear in high-wind, but she did happily accept, judging from the smiles and hugs from my vantage point!!!

 

Later, on their way out, as we exchanged pleasantries and I congratulated the couple, he admitted to me with a grin, that he didn't tell me when they arrived, so "not to ruin the moment" (and the surprise).

 

This is something that I will always remember, the moment and the beauty of it all! What are the chances of something like this happening in such an area when one is on vacation and was there for a few hours only...? Lucky and Sweet indeed! May be a Good Omen too!

 

Thanks to my good friend Dan Alban, who grew up in Nampa, Idaho, for recommending this place, Swan Falls Dam, Idaho, among other places in Idaho for me to see! And for his family's generous and wonderful hospitality!

 

Idaho is really beautiful, especially Snake River Valley and Gorge area and up in the Pine Forested Mountain areas such as Idaho City and the High Desert country. And the beautiful, absolutely beautiful Sunsets! I will upload more pics later.

Coach Harper walks up the steps that lead from Reynolds' basement, where the locker rooms are located, to the court for her first exhibition at NC State. This one is the photographer's favorite shot. "You can read the wording on the stairs," he says. "There is symbolism of her moving up; going to a new challenge."

 

The steps say: "Wolfpack women steps to success: enthusiasm . . .intensity . . . confidence . . . loyalty . . . poise . . . skills. (We'll get the rest soon.)

These are nice little blocks to make! I'm trying to get the full range of values in each of the three color groups so it doesn't get to look boring.

Brooklyn Borough Hall, September 2013.

Several winding stone steps going down to a lake surrounded by colorful autumn trees. On the side of the stairs there is a small white chapel with a tiled roof made of wood.
