Two image focus stack to get all the steps sharp and a wee while of wait to get a person to where I wanted at the top of the steps.
After a long time, I once again experimented with
ICM - Intentional Camera Movement - because I like this effect.

Kipsala is an island in Daugava river in the middle of Rīga- capital city of Latvia

18th century Ships entering Riga needed a place to unload large ballast, and for this purpose the Rāte of Riga established an area in Ķīpsala, where Ballast Dam was formed from the ballast material unloaded over the centuries - Ķīpsala's largest and also the most architecturally rich street. 18th century construction works of the dam took place according to the project of G.E. Veismanis, a century later restoration works were underway. For many years Ballast dam was the only paved street in Ķipsala.
The residential buildings were located on one side of the street, because the opposite side is washed by the Daugava. In order to strengthen the shore along the street, a boulder strengthening structure was built in 1885. On the banks of the Daugava near the Ballast Dam in the 20th century. In the 1930s, a city swimming pool was built.

The famous staircase in Rome. From the bottom, up.
From Wikipedia:
The Spanish Steps (Italian: Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti) in Rome, Italy, climb a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and the Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church, at the top.
The monumental stairway of 135 steps is linked with the Trinità dei Monti church, under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of France, at the top of the steps and the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See in the Palazzo Monaldeschi at the bottom of the steps. The stairway was designed by the architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi.
Bold planting ideas are front and center in the Chicago Botanic Garden's Crescent annual beds, while hundreds of evergreen boxwood give shape to their curves. The evergreens create a mass of green "steps" flanking the eight concentric tiers, which increase in size as they slope gently down to the water's edge. Brick walkways lace through the beds, encouraging visitors to step close to the plants.
La Cattedrale di Helsinki (Finlandia) è sopraelevata rispetto al piano stradale: sulle sue scalinate si trovano sempre persone che si godono il sole, la vista sull'ampia piazza o che semplicemente chiacchierano. Sia persone locali sia turisti probabilmente appena arrivati in città, come testimoniano le valigie in primo piano :-)

Helsinki Cathedral (Finland) is elevated above street level: its steps are always crowded with people enjoying the sun, the view of the large square, or simply chatting. Both locals and tourists, probably newly arrived in the city, as evidenced by the suitcases in the foreground :-)
