Another staircase, this time from a hotel in Paris (which, fortunately, was also equipped with a lift).

There is a very romantic private resort in Oman called Zighy Bay. It has a tower, on the roof of which it is possible to dine by candlelight. To get to the roof, you need to go inside, and up this spiral staircase. It’s worth it.

Two photographs taken close to Tranquility Base. Yvette’s barn is actually in the hamlet, while Chez Fiaud is a couple of kilometers away, on one of our local walks.

Detail from the triumphal arch in the Roman city of Jerash, in Jordan. I think they were trying to make a point.
