Challenge #5: Steps and Stairs
Thanks to HopsSkipsandJumps I learned about these regular photo challenges, and I felt the urge to climb aboard the photo fun.
My first offerings, as we’re still in Lockdown, are some ‘blasts from the past’:
Aldeburgh, Suffolk, England.
Imposing, Grade 1 listed Tudor Moot Hall stands on the corner of Market Cross Place, facing the sea. In late 2019 it underwent extensive refurbishment and now serves as the Aldeburgh Museum.
Limonos Monastery, Filia, Lesvos
Ancient and modern harmoniously blend, in this vibrant house of Greek religion.
Moel y Chi Farm, Gwynedd, Wales
Inviting, foreboding – these rustic steps were too perfect not to capture.
St Mary of Charity, Faversham, Kent, England
Battle Abbey, Battle, East Sussex, England
The steps and stairs that have intrigued me are those that display conspicuous wealth: are external to a building, or have decorative features that are excessive to their usefulness. At the other extreme are those that belie what is within the building. I guess I like contrasts, and objects that suggest an intriguing backstory.
The inspiration for the weekly challenges come from #challengeyourcamera on the wonderful http://buddhawalksintoawinebar.blog/ Blog Site.
I hope you have enjoyed my trawl through images from the past. Take a look at Dr B’s site – and join the fun. Take care.

That’s a great selection Marilyn, you’ve enthused me to visit Aldeburgh hopefully soon, we hope to visit some vineyards in East Anglia and we like to add other reasons for visiting an area. Great start and thank you for joining my little challenge.
Good morning Dr B Always great to hear about new places. I’ve held on to Marie’s posts on Ireland ready for our next visit. I didn’t know how to ping back – don’t know what it is – so if I need to do anything else please let me know. Happy Friday. M
Hi, the simplest way to get a ping back is to put a link to someone’s site in your post and also to post the same link as a comment in that persons blog post. So, each week you do my challenge go to MY post about the challenge and add a link to YOUR post in my comments section. Oh dear, a bit long winded, try it, you won’t mess up and I’ll reply.
Marilyn! You’ve made my day – You’ve declared me an INFLUENCER!!!😅 😂
These challenges are great – they’re fun to do, they make you think a bit and you meet up with a new set of bloggers.
Great election of photos BTW. XXXMarie
You are very welcome. We are so looking forward to revisiting Ireland – and places you’ve featured will be high on the itinerary. Keep travelling. Keep posting. Marilyn X
Well lets hope you get back here sooner rather than later. Meanwhile stay safe… XXXMarie
