Description
I escaped from the house in the sunshine today. I visited Sandsend a spot close by. I walked the beach, it was beautiful. I was Just walking back to the jeep when I saw these glorious steps. They are in a private garden. I would not walk in, I needed YOU PJ!! I was looking, longing at them, when an old gentleman came out from within the house. He said "come on in lass if you want to take a photograph". He was so kind. I took several shots. Another, I shall post tomorrow of kilns in his garden!!! Forgive me, I am way behind in everything at present. Not enough hours in the day :-( Happy eventime and hugs. Diane.

Thank you all for comments, @Squid123 the stone is "Herrinbone dressed stone" It is a tradition in this area of Yorkshire to "dress" the stone in this manner for steps and for buildings. The cutting on the stones would have been done by hand at the time these steps were set. Diane.

Wonderful shot Di and for once I don't know where this was taken. Love the clear blue sky and the steps which are all worn away due to centuries of use. Superb.

Very well composed and a delight to look at. Stairs always having a subliminal side too and these steps are so warn that I expect many a traveler to have climbed the steep face. Well seen and captured.
