Up The Stairs by bkbinthecity

Up The Stairs

Okay I can do this. I am sure I can do this. Wow those are a whole lot of stairs. What am I thinking.
So that is the scenario that I am thinking was playing through this ladies mind as she stood at the bottom of these stairs.
Okay so some how I thought todays word was stairs. So I made a stop to take this picture and then I make the discovery that the word was actually stairwell. So this will have to do.
We have a huge river valley here in Edmonton and through out the length of the valley there are a number of wooden stairs like this one
Awesome shot

That's a lot of stairs... great leg workout!

I think you can call this an "outdoor" stairwell. You just happened to take the landscape view of it rather than the traditional "looking down the stairwell in a building" shot. (o:

Whoa--there are a lot of stairs--lovely composition!
September 7th, 2014  
Oh, my gosh! What a neat contrast the stairs provide to the path on the side....Somehow, the path looks easier?
September 7th, 2014  
Great shot, looks like the stairway to heaven. I would be okay coming down but not too sure my knees would cope with the upwards trek.
September 7th, 2014  
It would be nice if they were moving staircases?
September 7th, 2014  
Great shot - so did you climb the stairs too?
September 7th, 2014  
That is quite a climb. I normally enjoy counting them as I go up. funnily enough, I don't do that on the way down. Beautiful shot.
September 7th, 2014  
Love the feeling of extremity here! Lovely size comparison!
September 7th, 2014  
Great shot, I would think twice too.
September 7th, 2014  
I always let my mind wander doing stairs, they don't seem as daunting to me then! Love the perspective!
September 7th, 2014  
Excellent capture and I really like your composition. Wow, those are some tedious looking stairs. I'm getting exhausted looking at them. LOL
September 7th, 2014  
That's quite a climb! - a nicely composed shot and I like your imagined story.

Hello Brian, thanks a lot for the Follow :) and many greetings from Germany. You captured those stairs really well. Looking Forward to your next Pictures
September 7th, 2014  
Wow, that's a long way!
September 7th, 2014  
Looks a fun place to go. Nice shot.
September 7th, 2014  
Nice capture....wonder what's at the top to make it so worthwhile to climb up
September 7th, 2014  
Great POV, scale.

Best get a cab. Nicely done.
September 7th, 2014  
That is a lot of steps but it beats climbing the embankment without them. The lady is young and wearing her tennis shoes. I don't think she have the problem I would.
September 7th, 2014  
Great shot of the stairs . And the leading lines of it to the to the sky
September 7th, 2014  
Just looking at these stairs tires me out. After four joint replacements, I don't do stairs like this..... We moved out of our two story home because of the stairs. Oh well, wondering if she made it to the top? Great photo. Glad you got the gal in it.
September 7th, 2014  
Super perspective! That's a looooooong climb up.
September 7th, 2014  
beautiful photo Brian
September 7th, 2014  
Hope you exercised before it must take it out of you great photo:)
September 7th, 2014  
What a wonderful photo and a lot of stairs, Brian.
September 7th, 2014  
I would think twice about that task
September 8th, 2014  
Yikes! Nice shot.
September 8th, 2014  
That is a lot of stairs!
September 8th, 2014

Great shot. That sure is a lot of stairs. No way in hell I could ever get halfway up the first flight, let alone the others. Kudos to those who make it to the top!
September 8th, 2014  
Looks like a great work out!
September 8th, 2014

@gratefulness It might just be
September 9th, 2014  
@onewing They certainly can be hard on the knees for sure Babs
September 9th, 2014  
@maggiemae Interesting that you mentioned that because the city is actually thinking about building something like that in a different part of the river valley
September 9th, 2014  
@dide Thanks Dianne. I did not climb them this time as I was not really dressed to do so. I have climbed them before though
September 9th, 2014

@carys We do have some long sets of stairs here in our river valley
September 9th, 2014  
@dolphin Thanks Molly
September 9th, 2014  
@lynne5477 At the top is a park with some benches which offer a great view of the river valley. Down here at the bottom is a bridge that takes you over to the University of Alberta campus

September 9th, 2014
