Description
For those of you who care about these things ...
Nobody had a chance to find out if this arrangement of stairs made for a good traffic flow or not. Middle Point (Manchester) was slated to have two guns to supplement the firepower at the facility on the other side of Rich Passage, but after the bunker was constructed, the powers that be decided the guns on the other side were sufficient. No guns were ever installed here, and the emplacement was never manned.
................
A few of you have asked about Bill, since he hasn't been around Renderosity very much lately. He's doing just fine! He's kicking back and enjoying the summer. We're camping in the motorhome and building a retaining wall at our summer lot. It's lots of work, but we're taking it slow and having a great time. Bill is doing most of the digging, and I'm moving gravel and stacking blocks. Mandy sits on the deck and supervises. She's very good at that, and can apparently do it in her sleep! :)

It this where they got the idea for "Up the Down Staircase". Nice shot Tara.

Great capture. You have a special view to find this rare POV. Well done

This reminds me of the famous Escher print "Ascending and Descending". Well spotted & captured...

Super capture and title!!
Faemike55
Definitely a step up to nowhere Sounds like Mandy has a full time job keeping Bill in line...
tommorules
M. C. Escher would have been proud of this!
jocko500
look like that art work on stairs that goes all over the place

Military planning at its best! (Sorry Bill...) Definitely has an Escher-esque quality about it.

Super capture

A most fabulous capture, Tara. Stunning to see those traps coming and going in different directions. The colors on the right wall also are very beautiful. Greetings to the hard working Bill :). (and of course to his assistants)

Hehehe! Clever title, and I can see that those words were definably uttered with this arrangement, I get the impression of Eshers's room of topsy turvy stair wells. In other words agreeing with faroutsider

Great title Tara! Sounds like the sound of thing Governments are still doing even now! lol Good post and say hi to Bill and Mandy! Rob

Could be in LOST serie !

I think if you look closely you might find some old graffiti that says "MC Escher was here"! Good gosh, what a strange and wonderful arrangement. Love your shot!!

Wonderful colours and textures.

Great picture Tara, a good explanation for the weird arrangement of the stairs (maybe they thought if they confuse themselves that may confuse the enemy - if he ever gets there). And a good accounting of Bill's, yours, and Mandy's activities. Our temperatures are down some, we had some clouds and some rain, but very isolated. Yesterday the East Valley (about 20 to 40 miles east of me) had almost 1.5 inches of rain in an hour. US 60 was flooded briefly in both directions at Val Vista (8 lanes affected). Just west of Wickenburg, about 40 miles northwest of me they had 3.53 inches in 3 hours. All the affected areas had flash flooding. We didn't get anything - but it was cooler and cloudy for part of the day.

Two going up and two going down? ... I can imagine, only one going up and only one down, be even a greater problem! -oh, I think I worked it out: the narrow one(4steps) going to the WC, aha! and the one on the left leads you to the NORTH side and the one on the right points you to the EAST - I do love solving puzzles ;D I do like the right wall(canteen) with all that light and colouring, BB

OK - let me guess..... This place was designed by M.C. Escher, right?? LOL! What a great shot, Tara! I'd love to visit this place someday - you and Bill can be our guides! :-D Glad Bill is OK - I was starting to wonder. Just tell him to take it easy with that shovel and don't overdo... I'm sure the job will get done properly with Mandy's supervision.. LOL!

I love a good echo of Escher, and this is as good as they come. And to top it off, this has the whole vibe of some terribly interesting otherworldly place--or at least alt.reality place: maybe this could be an old Agaran bunker hub or something, though I don't see any stray, dead, dry Catalpa leaves in the corners and no cryptic graffiti. I love the patterns in this, the tones, the overall mood, the starkness of it and the everything-else-that-rocks parts of this. Simply stunning!
SingedIcarus
Someone else mentioned MC Escher. Damn!! I wanted to be the first lol. I also commented on your light an d glass image - this is similar you have a clear talent for unusual imaginative photography

Hmmm... very nice. Something to emulate for my up and coming rats? I bet they'd appreciate something like this. You sure did a nice job catching the architecture of this intersection without giving away much about what it's all about! This has got a bit of a surrealistic feel to it. GOOD JOB! :-) PS - thanks for the info re Bill! Glad to hear you're enjoying your leisure time and getting a bit of work done. :-)
