Paris Rive Gauche Stairway

Another stairway photograph. This one is in a hotel I visited in Paris. Although this stair is also surrounded by flowers, it is pretty much the polar opposite of the Butchart Gardens stairway image I posted a few weeks ago. Looking thru my archives I’ve noticed that I very rarely shoot a stairway from the top looking down. I suppose that is because I think of a beautiful stairway as a metaphor for moving up through life.
Butchart Garden Stairway

I want my garden to look like this! Around 100 years ago Jennie Butchart, the wife of a Portland Cement magnate, decided to turn their exhausted quarry pit into a sunken garden. The original garden was completed in 1921 Today, over a million bedding plants a year are used throughout the gardens and over a million visitors visit Butchart Gardens annually. It’s well worth the trip.
