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
Steps in the bank were made from old railway ties. Moss and leaves settle them into the natural surroundings.
I went to Highgate Park to see if the statue of Edward VII was still there. I wasn't aware that it had been removed for restoration, and an eventual placing in Centenary Square.
I knew the statue was heavily vandalised, i just didn't know that it had been taken away.
Looking at this park (Highgate Park) it seems an unsuitable location for a statue.
Who in 1951 (when renovating Victoria Square) thought it was a good idea to move it here? No one comes here. The park was empty in the morning.
Took this one for those steps. Behind is a pink Ford Ka and a City Council park maintenance truck.
The gates I came into the park, and the gate house.

On the way to Manali from Shimla, I saw a lot of such steps leading to nowhere. I mean you can walk up the steps but there literally is nothing. When I asked my car driver, he had no clear idea either. May be they are planning to construct houses up the hills sometime later.
The rest of the tower's spiral staircase had long gone. Snow collected on the remains of the steps, and I took a picture before heading down to the great hall again.

Steps down to a famous diving site on Bonaire. It is called "1000 steps", because the way up after the dive feels like 1000 steps with all the heavy equipment, instead of the 67 (i believe) steps there really are.
The dive was fantastic and definitely worth it!!!
The Charminar, built in 1591 CE, is a monument and mosque located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The landmark has become a global icon of Hyderabad, listed among the most recognized structures of India. The Charminar is situated on the east bank of Musi river. To the west lies the Laad Bazaar, and to the southwest lies the richly ornamented granite Makkah Masjid.
The English name is a translation and combination of the Urdu words Chār and Minar, translating to "Four Towers"; the eponymous towers are ornate minarets attached and supported by four grand arches.
Historian Masud Hussain Khan says that the construction of Charminar was completed in the year 1592, and that it is the city of Hyderabad which was actually founded in the year 1591. According to the book "Days of the Beloved", Qutb shah constructed the Charminar in the year 1589, on the very spot where he first glimpsed his future queen Bhagmati, and after her conversion to Islam, Qutb Shah renamed the city as "Hyderabad". Though the story was denied by the historians and scholars, it became popular folklore among the locals.
The Charminar was constructed on the intersection of the historical trade route that connects the markets of Golconda with the port city of Masulipatnam. The Old City of Hyderabad was designed with Charminar as its centerpiece. The city was spread around the Charminar in four different quadrants and chambers, seggregated according to the established settlements. Towards the north of Charminar is the Char Kaman, or four gateways, constructed in the cardinal directions. Mir Momin Astarabadi, Qutb Shah's prime minister, played a leading role in preparing the layout plan for the Charminar along with that of the new capital city, Hyderabad. Additional eminent architects from Persia were also invited to develop the city plan. The structure itself was intended to serve as a Mosque and Madraasa. It is of Indo-Islamic architecture style, incorporating Persian architectural elements.
STRUCTURE
The Charminar is a square structure with each side 20 meters long, with four grand arches each facing a fundamental point that open into four streets. At each corner stands an exquisitely shaped minaret, 56 meters high, with a double balcony. Each minaret is crowned by a bulbous dome with dainty petal-like designs at the base. Unlike the Taj Mahal's, Charminar's four fluted minarets are built into the main structure. There are 149 winding steps to reach the upper floor. The structure is also known for its profusion of stucco decorations and the arrangement of its balustrades and balconies.
The structure is made of granite, limestone, mortar and pulverised marble. Initially the monument with its four arches was so proportionately planned that when the fort was opened one could catch a glimpse of the bustling Hyderabad city, as these Charminar arches were facing the most active royal ancestral streets.
There is also a legend of an underground tunnel connecting the Golkonda fort to Charminar, possibly intended as an escape route for the Qutb Shahi rulers in case of a siege, though the location of the tunnel is unknown.
A mosque is located at the western end of the open roof; remaining part of the roof served as a court during the Qutb Shahi times. The actual mosque occupies the top floor of the four-storey structure. A vault which appears from inside like a dome supports two galleries within the Charminar, one over another, and above those a terrace that serves as a roof, bordered with a stone balcony. The main gallery has 45 covered prayer spaces with a large open space in front to accommodate more people for Friday prayers.
The clock on the four cardinal directions was added in 1889. There is a vazu (water cistern) in the middle, with a small fountain for ablution before offering prayer in the Charminar Mosque.

Steps that lead down to the footbridge which connects Strumble Hd Lighthouse to the mainland. These were built to last and despite being there in all weathers for over 100 years the walls still have the original grouting and handrails.
