at the bottom of the stairs, a photo from Rome, Lazio

Photographer's Note

Mueums of Vatican, stairs called "of Bramante".

Attributed to Donato Bramante, their actually the work of Giuseppe Momo who drawn them in 1932.

They're a double helix stairs : 2 stairs which never cross, one to go upstairs, one to go downstairs. Then nobody can meet someone who go in the opposite direction.
But nowadays they're used only to go downstairs, to allow the visitors to get out from the museums.

Hello Yannis
Veyr nice capture with perfect geometry and great effect.
As they are not much colors on it, I would recommend also to try a b&w version.
TFS and best regards

Hello Yannis

A great shot. Nice use of light and shade and shape. I did a similar (but more abstract shot) of the stairs in the Museum of Liverpool.

Great minds think alike eh?

TFS
