The long staircase - 99 steps straight up, apparently.
There were at least a few crazy people (locals?) doing sets up and down these stairs for exercise. One woman reached the bottom just as I started up, took a swig of water, gasped, "Just two more sets!" to herself, then panted off ahead of me up...
4 steps that will force your body to burn extra fat There are different ways to burn extra fat. One of them is the ketogenic diet in which they stop eating carbohydrates forcing the body into a metabolic process called ketosis. In ketosis the body is forced to burn fats in search of a source of energy, whether it is accumulated in the body or ingested. When this happens the liver begins to produce the ketone bodies, which will be responsible for supplying energy to the heart and brain. Glycogen, which is nothing more than glucose stored in the liver and muscles, will no longer be a reserve to become the main source of energy that will be used to carry out daily activities. In the early days it is common to feel tired and even moody as part of the process of adaptation to the low intake of carbohydrates. Just remember that this should be done with moderation because, if the intention is to lose weight, ingesting too much fat means an increase in the calories consumed daily. Also, protein is vital for muscle replenishment that occurs when you lose weight. This is because in the process of burning extra fat you can also lose some muscle mass. Advantages of ketosis You lose weight quickly by using stored fat as an energy source. However, the difference is not very marked when compared to a low-carbohydrate diet. It helps to better metabolize carbohydrates when they are included again and gradually in the diet. With ketosis the body learns to use fats more efficiently and this effect can be maintained over time. The ketogenic diet has a satiating effect. The levels of anxiety that make us overeat are reduced, since it includes a greater number of healthy fats in the daily diet.

Although the ketogenic diet is very natural and actually teaches you to eat well, it could cause you some side effects due to the changes you require in your diet. The most common side effects are: Dizziness and headaches. This effect occurs after the third day and occurs because the brain needs glycogen to function. While the ketone bodies will make it work, in the process of adaptation there may be dizziness when rising or moving quickly. Bad breath or metallic taste in the mouth. It is common for the high presence of ketone bodies in the body when trying to burn extra fat with this method. Urine with a very strong odor. Its cause is the release of ketones through it. Excessive sweating. Like urine, excessive sweating is one of the ways in which the body eliminates ketone bodies. Loss of calcium. There is a link between high protein intake and loss of calcium through the urine.

A couple 'old timey' shots from Salvador, Brazil.
I find travel photography a fun challenge. More often than not, we find ourselves only spending a short portion of time in any one location, so I try to get a few shots that showcase the character of the location as well as something I can look back on and reminisce.
In this particular shot, we were standing in a small side street while some workers were taking a break on the steps. As soon as they moved I took the opportunity for a few shots. In the comments shot, I had to go with what the mule was willing to give.
Thanks for looking!

Subway Station U8, Alexanderplatz Berlin (Germany)

This year’s student production, The 39 Steps, was directed by Phillip Heilbron I and with a cast of six managed to blend Hitchcock, Monty Python, and James Bond.
Tarr Steps is a medieval clapper bridge over the river Barle which spans the fifty-five foot river in seventeen spans of flat stone. Close by are burial mounds of Bronze Age men from 5,000 years ago.
Phyllis and I loved the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps -- a beautiful, community-created mosaic running up the steps at 16th and Moraga in San Francisco.
In 2003, Artists Aileen Barr and Colette Crutcher led the creation of 163 mosaic panels that were applied to the step risers, over 300 neighbors helped make them, and over 220 neighbors sponsored handmade animal, bird and fish name tiles embedded within the mosaic. They successfully completed the project two years later, in 2005.
This collective art project is one of San Francisco’s little-known gems that’s well worth the trip: it is a sight to behold, as these photos suggest. The spiral patterns that run through all the steps are exquisite and tie it all together. What a wonderful way to make art with your neighbors!

These are the steps ascending to the Mississippi River overlook at Riverview Park in Alton, Illinois. The second I saw these I had to take a shot. They screamed at me of a dilapidated remnant of the early 20th Century - 1920s or 30's. With this in mind, I just couldn't take a photo and leave it the way it was in perfect brilliant digital color. I had to give the photo a bit more "character". This image is the fruit of my effort
At the top of Vicar's Hill, in Lewisham, in south east London, which runs steeply downhill to Ladywell, these steps lead up to Hilly Fields, the hill-top park established in the second half of the 19th century, which is mostly in Brockley, although its eastern part is in Lewisham. The Friends of Hilly Fields website explains the park's history as follows: "In the second half of the 19th century, the Brockley area became built up, as farmland was sold off and streets of houses crept further south. Hilly Fields was only saved from development by the protests of local residents. A committee of influential people was formed, including Octavia Hill, the philanthropist and co founder of the National Trust. In her article 'Space for the People' (1883) Octavia records that when visiting tenants in Deptford one day, she noticed a vase of freshly picked flowers. On being told they had been picked on Hilly Fields, she set off to visit the area the same day and as a result became instrumental in raising subscriptions to save Hilly Fields from being built over." Photo taken on the morning of January 18, 2013.

These steps lead to a flat hilltop where a house once stood, in what is now Big Willow Park. History of the park says Adam Hannah built a house in 1913 and raised his family there. The city of Minnetonka acquired the property after the death of Hannah's daughter in 1967.

At the top these steps are quite hazardous. The top step is cut about 30cm into the pavement. Anyone walking close to the fence could easily lose their footing and fall sideways onto the steps which are steep and narrow with nothing much to stop someone coming all the way down. It's been the same for years and I've never heard of anyone taking a tumble
