Fortnightly Competition # 33 - STAIRS

From the last times, when I had to judge, I remember several stairs draw my attention). To my mind it has not been a theme yet. And should be available for anyone: outdoors and indoors, even under tha snow if you prefer It should give opportunity to play with light, composition and mood, being abstract or realistic...the choice is yours.
So:

It looks like I'm kicking this one off.
The novelty of the snow has worn off. Now it just feels bleak.

Spiral Staircase




Too busy I know, but it's all I've managed to come up with this fortnight. Had my eye on a staircase downtown, but never managed to get there.

Exif: Taken last Saturday with the K20D + DA10-17(of course!) @ 11mm, f.8, 1/8 sec, ISO 500

Not leaving it to the very last minute this time as I'm sure Aiki has been chewing her nails

I had to incur the veiled wrath of my wife by not visiting Mother In Law and searching for photos instead.

I am quite sure none of you would like to be in my skin at the moment !
Too many equal photos for me.

You still have to wait.

Fair enough
