Love stairs.
These are in the garden of Voltaire's chateau in Ferney-Voltaire.

Up or down?

This is the oldest image I´ve ever share here. After this trip, I decided to buy a serious camera. It was a nikon d200 at that time. This particular stairs with guy at the top was taken in Varanasi, India, in 2007 with a point and shoot Sony W5. I think I was very lucky!

Paco, I think you were lucky BECAUSE you had a P&S camera. Such a large depth of field would have been impossible with a SERIOUS camera.
Jakov, yet another fine example of "scratch painting". :)

You made a very good point.
Jakov, that treatment is very interesting...the image of stairs in circle inside circles works very well
-
Akira, thank you for the name "Scratch Painting"!
Thanks Paco, your stairs are very Escher like too, looking down and down :)

Great idea Werner, here is wooden stair inside a metal and diesel engine workshop we visited during the NG event in Lofoten.
It's actually a very special image for me, until then the 50/1.2 was pretty much my main lens but that day I borrowed Bjørn's 35/1.4G and a seed was planted which slowly grew in the desire to buy one myself. It quickly became my number one lens and a fast 35mm has been my main lens ever since.

Nice, modern repetitive patterns and brass shine (perhaps from the illumination?).
Like the human corner ;)

Thanks Thomas. It's a combination of reflection and illumination. The whole building is designed as a ship, both external and interior. When entering these stairs it gives the feeling of 'landing' on the main deck on the way to check-out gates ;)

I have a few more from Antwerp in the Sint-Anna Tunnel for pedestrians and bikers under the river Schelde (572m long).
The moving staircases were special when it opened in 1933.

Great find!
Are the wooden excalators still in use?
I thought they have been taken out of duty in most places due to fire risks.

Great image Paco. Varanasi in an wonderful place for street photography; one of the best in country actually, IMHO!! If you have more photos of Varanasi, would love to see those. I've been there twice when I was a kid.
While you were in Varanasi, I was in Miami with my P&S Canon S80. 1.5 years later I bought my first SLR D200. :D

Yep, I can see that´s the effect cool stairs had on P&S cameras...they become d200s :)
I will try to dig out some of those Varanasi pics

Do you mean that you made the stairs? Gorgeous.
-
Yes, thank you, my own design very eco conscious, the side pieces were the off cuts from the risers, laser cut, or water jet I can't remember. I have a pic of the fabrication I think... This is one of them I made a few.
Also my daughter who is now 22! Taken by a friend who was passing.

Tom, you must have a really big house and you must be in shape. I wouldn't want to forget something upstairs :)

This is a nice series. Bjorn's post reminded me of a picture (unknown photographer) that, again, reminded me of a hit song by Led Zeppelin. A Stairway to Heaven. Here it is.

Thanks Elsa. When I saw the thread and Bjorn's picture I could not resist. Nudity in this photo, I think, is depicted in good taste.

Very nice photo Elsa. Here's a different take.
Flying down the stairs...

^^ That is a great capture.

Paulo, WOW again!
Do tell me more about yourself, where the photo was taken, what gear was used, etc. please :)

Great shot ! The skater hovering above the stairs gives a nice touch... :-)

Elias, is this a doll?
It just doesn't look real how perfect her body is...
-
Hello Jakov, I think post processing made her look like a doll. It looks a very nice body, but the texture of the skin is like "marble",
not a single mark.
-
Thanks guys. The photo was taken in central London on the back of St Martins-in-the-Fields church, near Trafalgar Square. I was walking around on my own to photograph, like I did many times when I was living in London, when I came across this guy. He was actually with another guy which was shooting video. This photo is a part of a sequence of images that cover the full jump. This guy was pretty good!!
The photo was taken with a D700 + 24-70 f/2.8.

Very nice. Fantastic handrail. So much subtle structure of order :D
-
Yes! Captivating. Very nice game of lines, frame splitting and gorgeous touch with the handrail.
Subway?
-
Thomas and Paco, thanks! I've seen such handrails here and there in Tokyo, but haven't had chance to capture in the way I wanted.
Paco, yes, I found this particular one in a subway station.
-
I hope the handrail waves are synched with the stairs. It would make for some cognitive dissonance otherwise :)
A linear one

Apparently the handrail waves are "just loosely" synched with the stairs, so practically it would work. :)
The green hue of the escalator looks pleasant and beautiful.

I don't think the designer of that hand rail understands, "Form Follows Function." The hand rail makes a good photograph however.

Dave, indeed the rail may not feel comfortable as a guide when you descend, but its steeper sections would work nicely as a grip when you ascend, especially for the people who need something to hold on to.

Icarus made a fatal mistake by flying way too high. ;)
According to the Buddhist interpretation of the world, the hell is located on the lowest level of the world.

Thank you, Paco and Bent!
The area was lit with the usual incandescent light. The overall atmosphere of this room was nice, but I felt even a pleasant atmosphere would detract this attracting play of the banister and the shadow. So, I decided to process the image as B&W.
