Ahh, the famed Potemkin steps. The uprising never actually took place on the steps but an old movie memorialized them as the steps of slaughter.
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 church of Trinità dei Monti. The Scalinata is the widest staircase in Europe.
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 to the Holy See, today still located in Palazzo Monaldeschi in the piazza below, with the Trinità dei Monti the church that was under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of France, above. It was designed by Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi.
Undoubtedly one of the leading forces in 1990's pop, STEPS are hailed as one of Britain’s best loved bands. From their first hit, 5, 6, 7, 8, STEPS went on to have an amazing 14 consecutive Top 5 hits.
Memorable chart toppers included Tragedy, One For Sorrow and Heartbeat. Their first album, STEP ONE was certified five times platinum, cementing their position as the UK’s biggest pop sensations.
Their next album, STEPTACULAR, featuring smash hits Love’s Got A Hold Of My Heart and After The Love Has Gone, helped the album go four times platinum. In total, across 4 albums, STEPS sold an astonishing 15 million records...and now they're back.
Steps have come together once again for a reunion tour kicking off in April 2012.

Bedruthan Steps
The "steps" are a spectacular series of rock stacks stretching across Bedruthan Beach. They first became a tourist destination when nearby Newquay became a popular resort in the Victorian period. Legend tells that the steps were built by a giant named Bedruthan, who used them as stepping stones to traverse the bay. Unfortunately for students of Cornish folkore it seems that the legend was invented by late 19th century residents to tell their awestruck visitors.
Still another element of confusion surrounds the name "Bedruthan Steps". There is no certainty that the name refers to the rock stacks at all; it may equally well refer to the steps cut into the cliff that allow access to the beach.
One of the rocks is named Samaritan Island, after the ship of that name that wrecked upon the rock in 1846. Visitors are warned that treacherous tides make swimming dangerous.
There are wonderful walks along the clifftops between Bedruthan and Carnewas, and the National Trust has built new steps into the sides of the cliff for access down to the beach. The steps are closed in the winter.
The area around Bedruthan is also rich in prehistoric sites; within 2 miles there are no less than 6 Bronze Age barrows and 2 cliff castles dating from the Iron Age.
There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.
Richard Bach
It turned out that Italian fascism was able to create more interesting and modern architectural forms than Soviet-style socialist realism. But of course it doesn't prove that fascism was better than communism, probably Italian version of soc-realism would be better too.

Now, she can walk independently. I just thought the title dressed the image so well.
My 16 months old daughter, Karen.
All post-processing in Lightroom, basically gave it more brightness and contrast + desaturated all colors except from blue and green. Small vignette added as well.
These steps (1159 in total) lead to the Toshogu Shrine in Shizuoka city.
The picture was taken in late afternoon.

I'm always tempted to climb up the steps and see what I can see.
