Love the black and white tones of this photo, it just adds to the mystique. I love photos of doors, doorways and stairs. They invite your mind to ask questions of the photo. Curiosity makes me wonder...where do the stairs lead? I think of the thousands of feet that have climbed these stairs over the centuries. Thank you for your wonderful description of the location, it adds so much to my enjoyment of the image.
