Melk Abbey - steps

As we take our leave from the Abbey we pass by this magnificent staircase which goes to the wider grounds and gardens. Time forbids me to do no other than run to the top, glance around and run back down.

Thanks Judite, glad you enjoyed this. I would think these steps are not very healthy for these with a bad heart to start with, other wise good exercise for those who need it.

Best Wishes. Herb

An intricate and impressive looking set of steps Herb..........I also like the street lamps and the symmetry is (almost) perfect. The sunshine is lovely and the detail you've captured is excellent.

I'm also impressed that you actually ran to the top and back..!!

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

Hi Keith. Like me, you too like a bit of symmetry in your pictures. A great set of steps here and given time I could have made more of them in photos. Yes the whole week was a marvellous one for weather which was a real change for us. As for running up the stairs, I have always been good at doing that but I am not a speedster nor a marathon man. I use steps like this as test pointers to my fitness as I grow older and unfortunately, I can see my deterioration year on year.

Cheers. Herb

Cheers my friend. I am quite sure that you would have done it easier and faster than me. An image that you too would have taken like this but probably more colourful :)
