Active Assignment for the week of April 13th-20th: Stairways
I wanted to find a stairway a little out of the ordinary, I remembered this one and had wanted to photograph it a while back. So this assignment gave me a good reason to go back.
WIT-- A stairway and some good lighting. Post processing,........changed from a color image and boosted the contrast a bit.

At the far end of the plaza, these steps lead to a massive platform with two more pyramids on top of it. Flanking the top of the steps are two rooms which, if I understood correctly, housed protective deities guarding the entrance to the sacred area. On the far left is an arrowhead-shaped stone with a hole bored through it following a curving path. I wish I'd gotten a photo of it, it plays an amazing part a few photos down.
A week ago when Kay and I escaped to Galveston for a couple of hours we were prowling the alleyways and there was just something about this wall and stairway that appealed to me.
The Spanish Steps (Italian: Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti) are a set of steps in Rome, Italy, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church at the top. The Scalinata is the widest staircase in Europe.[1]
The monumental stairway of 138 steps was built with French diplomat Étienne Gueffier’s bequeathed funds of 20,000 scudi, in 1723–1725, linking the Bourbon Spanish Embassy, and the Trinità dei Monti church that was under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of France, both located above — to the Holy See in Palazzo Monaldeschi located below. The stairway was designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi. (Wikipedia.org)
Aberdeen Street is a border street dividing Sheung Wan and Choong Wan (present-day Central) on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It spans from Queen's Road Central to Caine Road in the Mid-levels. Part of the street near Queen's Road Central is a walkway consisting entirely stone steps.
鴨巴甸街是香港中西區街道，為香港島上環與中環分界線。道路為南北走向，由皇后大道中的交界開始，穿過荷李活道及士丹頓街等道路，至堅道為止。全線大部份路段為雙線單程行車，近皇后大道中一段則為石級行人道。

Steps outside the office where I work. Brought my camera to shoot an "extracurricular" poker night, but this no-brains-involved shot through a window, turned out to be the best shot, I think.
Steps and reflections at Clapham Junction, another one that I’ve had in mind for a while.

Pictures in the lighthouse show that the water used to come right up to the light. The light's no longer particularly near the shore.
Tawas Point State Park
This is part of the craggy outcrop that rears up from besides the path as it weaves its way between Steps Bridge and Clifford Bridge on East Dartmoor.
ODT: 10 steps
Not the intended challenge, too literal I know, but there are 10 so I couldn't resist using it here
Along the tramway that connects Stepaside with Saundersfoot on the south coast of Pembrokeshire. For some reason I think there's something very north American about this walk, really reminds me of Stanley park in Vancouver.
I've been trying a lot of these very unbalanced pictures recently, not sure if they work, but I like the composition!
I've just past 2,500 views on my photostream, I know that's not a lot to some of you, but thank you for all the support and positive feedback I've been getting on flickr, it is really appreciated!

Gorgeous summer holiday in Cornwall. Subtropical temperature and spotless blue sky creating a wonderful holiday mood but not so much for landscape photography. Bedruthan steps is a remarkable beach for its wild beauty despite having a flat sandy stretch. Most of the photo ops in this beach are oriented around the sea stacks and rock pools. I wanted to break out of that monotony and compose something different. Low angled evening sun creating beautiful reflections of the spectacular cliffs and frozen wave motion was the answer.
Shot taken with Canon 5D, 17-40 L lens, photo focal length-17mm, f/22,ISO-50. Used a B+W CPL. Used this CPL for the first time and as pointed out by two of my friends there is an uneven polarisation of the sky. Could not correct it in post processing!:(
