Stairs

Looking through the archives, I realized I had some nice photographs of stairs
that have not yet been seen on this blog.  Here are three that I like.


The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston is a grand Italianate palace built by 
a wealthy Bostonian to house her art collection.  There is a new modern addition.
I waited for someone to come down the stairs of the modern addition.


This is the Caldwell Hart Colt Memorial in Hartford.  I followed a man up the stairs.


The Cameron Gallery is an outbuilding on the property of Catherine Palace in Pushkin, Russia,
half an hour out of St. Petersburg.  Alas, the entrance is roped off,
so I could not place anyone on the stairs.

  7. I never miss the chance to climb stairs Jack, so good for the derrière :) I like all your stair images here but the last with the lacy railings are so beautiful.

  8. I'll vote for the Gardner stairs. I remember these. A fine museum with quite a story to it. And one that is not 'closed' yet.
