On the steps down to the old city after we got off the basilica hill. I have a picture of Karen and LIsa on these steps several years ago, but we didn't make the kids climb them as we did. This time we took the funicular up and walked down.
Careful use of a polarising filter allowed me to make the most of the way the light was hitting the steps. I then corrected the converging verticals in Paintshop Pro and used a sublte infra-red film effect to create a monochrome with a slightly unworldly feel.
The Spanish Steps (Italian: Scalinata di 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 monumental stairway of 135 steps (the slightly elevated drainage system is often mistaken for the first step) 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.
