The Old Arcade (Up The Staircase)

I wasn't going to use this but I thought since I showed you down the staircase I'd give you the view up the stairway too!

This looks like an opera house! Where is the tenor and soprano?

[Yvonne]

That is so unusual looking. Definitely a great place to visit.

It's a pretty amazing view. What a great, impressive staircase and view from it. (My knees would protest at climbing it though, however pretty it is. 8D ) Wonderful shot.

[Bobbyj]

love the line and architecture!

[cglist]

Wonderful perspective!

[Danielle Greenwood]

Wow!! Beautiful.

[Leslie]

I like this shot even better than the previous view. Lovely tones and light and those grand steps leading up to the graceful curves. Nicely done Jim.

[Cindy Rez]

[michelle mcintyre]

[carol white]

[Cathy]

Your composition is perfect for this shot! I'm not sure which one I like best - up or down the staircase! Both are BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Jim]

@cindyrez @michelle58 @marzenka @carolmw Thank you so much!!! @calm I was talking to my friend about the two pics we decided pic one is better subject but pic two has better focus. I might have to go back.

[worthon]

...fantastic!!!!! great composition:))))

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Both photos are great but you are right that the focus is better here. A beautiful place, but where are all the people?

[Jim]

@ruthmouch It was taken at noon on a Saturday, not much going on mid day in the city. I considered that a plus, lol!

[santina]

beautiful shot, absolutely beautiful place, you're lucky to be in that place

[Not So Random Pics]

Gorgeous place, love your perspective & staircase details.

[Laura]

Amazing lines and detail! I can't imagine no people around, midday on a Saturday, how odd?!

[Alison Tomlin]

Love all the details in the architecture. Is it really an old building or a reconstruction?

[Mary]

Great lines and composition! FAV

[Carole]

WOW, Beautifully done

[Jan Hall]

Great composition. Such an interesting shot
