Mounting the steps
Posted on May 19, 2023
This set of five stone steps is a feature of my son’s house and that’s one of his mini Schnausers about to climb them.

No doubt a safety hazard, but these stone steps have obviously survived everything the Noth Sea has thrown at them for a very long time.
Sweeping

This old stone staircase in the Bordeaux town of Saint-Emilion is rather grand, especially considering that it’s not in a stately home but rather an open-sided building housing a number of artisan workshops.

This little set of square steps in Perigueux used to lead somewhere. Probably.

Purple (take my word for it) wisteria borders this set of steps in the very floral village of Chedigny.
The condemned staircase

This is a view of the staircase that was in our house just after we bought it. Originally, it was boxed in, which made the room – which is north-facing – even darker. However, Madame (with no little relish, it must be said) took a jemmy to it and exposed the original. It had to go however, as it was dangerously rickety.
Nonetheless it is a set of steps to meet this week’s challenge theme and, particularly in monochrome, the strong diagonals make for an interesting image.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Steps

Answering the theme of ‘steps’ this week is this dramatic-looking staircase to be found in the twelfth-century church in the nearby village of Saint-Martial-sur-Isop.
Although the ceiling has obviously been renovated, this steep and winding set of stairs leading up to the roof looks, if not original then pretty old. Not surprisingly, it isn’t open to the public.

Sepia seems to me to work better than conventional black & white in these pictures: the first of an old set of steps leading up to a cobbled square in the town of Saint-Emilion in the Bordeaux region:
and this from Montrol-Sénard:
