Stairs

Hello and good morning!

Stairs is the new prompt over at Our Beautiful World this week, chosen for us by Manuela


These stairs lead to the first floor of the beautiful 16th Century Born Hotel in Palma Majorca ... We stayed there several years ago ... It's decor is stunning but there are no lifts and we were on the top floor! I tell you we were breathless once we got to the top!

Palma has lots of stairs! These are some at Palma Cathedral


Yeh, that's me peeking around the corner... And me sitting on more stairs in the town


The next photo is of some pretty tiled stairs in an apartment block in Lagos Portugal


I actually have a bit of a phobia about stairs... I don't like heights and perhaps that's part of it so a huge nightmare for me is trying to climb the stairs to board a ship


I mean they don't look very safe do they? I can't even begin to tell you how hard it is for me to get on these... My heart pounds, I get dizzy and often just freeze... It's not pleasant and this is only a small ship ... I confess it took me 4 days to pluck up the courage to even get to the top deck

But one of my favourite photos regarding stairs is this one of Sophia on our Liverpool ferry ... I have no problem with these stairs


Hop on over to the Blog to see what my friends are sharing this week and why not link up your photos of Stairs too?

Have a beautiful day and thanks so much for stopping by

Hi Ros, oooh a lovely series of 'stair' photos and yes I agree Sophia's is the best. I too am us-sure on steps...got to really look where I'm going and then over water, nope, I have trouble going out on a pier with gaps in the walking surface. Anyway have a lovely week Robyn

I really enjoyed all of your stair photos and stories but that last pic of Sophia took my breath away! She looks like a model in a photo shoot!

Wow Ros you have some awesome Stairs pics for sure!! The ship one doesnt look the safest for sure, that might make my heart beat a little fast too! The sweetest on is of course dear Sophia on the the stairs :)

Barbara said...

Great shots! Love them all but that first one really makes me curious about the hotel (probably more what you were writing about it)...

Greta said...

Love your photos, Ros! Those tiled stairs are beautiful, but oh my goodness--the Sophia photo is just darling!

Sylvia said...

Beautiful photo's as always Ros, love all the stairs and grateful I am not climbing them. I think the most I ever climbed was in Rio, up to the statue!

Stella said...
