The steps at G'heim Bilbo.

I love finding old ruins; at some point in time, people went up and down these steps. Now nature is reclaiming them.

These are the steps up from the off-road car parking area - large enough for two cars.

The hedonistic king Kashyapa, who ruled Sri Lanka around 585 A.D., built a citadel surrounding a massive rock monolith in the central plains of Sri Lanka. He transformed this abode into a veritable fairyland by incorporating gardens, fountains, murals and frescoes and magnificent buildings. The passage of fifteen centuries has reduced the edifice to ruins; nevertheless, it is very impressive even today.

The photo shows a part of the ancient steps, (the iron railings, have been added more recently to protect the sightseers) leading up to the summit of the monolith, which is about 3.5acres in extent, where the base of Kashyapa’s imposing palace can still be seen.

The photo was taken with a 28mm lens using manual “hyper focal” focussing.

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.

Another view of the steps to one of the "alcoves" -- I think the main curiousity of the building was that there was little functionality behind its design. While most museums I've been to try to be less obtrusive and let the art do the talking, so to speak, this particular building was out to make a statement too. I wonder in some cases whether the building's designed hindered or complimented some of the installations.

These steps were ledge into the ground. Interesting concept to get you up and down the terraces.

Steps to the rock bathing pool between Whitley Bay and Cullercoats. This was the main swimming pool in Whitley Bay in olden days. If anyone has any idea or info about when it was constructed please let me know.
