Many thanks to Mona (@mona65) for hosting the mundane challenge corkscrew. I loved the choice (obviously) as it encouraged both serious and fun shots. As a result of P3 Rides a Dragon being selected for the winner of the challenge, I have the honor and pleasure of hosting the next challenge. We’ve had a LOT of mundane objects so it’s already been a challenge to determine a challenge that you would all enjoy. I’ve decided to select ‘stairs’ – there are so many different kinds and ways of photographing them that I hope you’ll find this fun to do. If you need some inspiration, check out all the stairs shots that used the tag 'stairs' over the past few years: http://365project.org/tags/stairs
You are free to use any photographic technique you like to capture this everyday object. The main rule; there can be no question the object of the challenge (i.e., stairs) is the star! You may enter as many times as you like, but your entry must be taken within the challenge time frame to be considered as a finalist.
******* Please tag your entries: mundane-stairs *********
The starting date will be Immediately: Saturday, June 27, 2015 and will run until Sunday, July 5, 2015.
Voting will take place from Tuesday July 7, 2015 until Friday July 10, 2015.
The winner will be announced Saturday July 11 as soon as possible (it will be Sunday for European time zone friends). I will be using Central Standard Time (Chicago time zone) basically but will try to be as generous as possible for those time zone related later entries.
Thanks very much and I encourage you to take part in the challenge – it’s fun. Remember for this challenge to tag mundane-stairs so an not to be confused or overlooked.

@rosiekerr I love it -- literally mundane stairs, but perfectly focused and an invitation to wonder who is at the top of the stairs, just out of sight -- am I excited? worried? etc. Love shots like this!
@francoise I laughed at your comment here! Terrific work with textures and line -- with that little twig sneaking out.
Thanks for contributing and posting in the thread!
@pamknowler THank you Pam for contributing both the shots and putting in the thread. Finlay is such an attention seeker! I love seeing him here -- like a visit from an old friend!
