    Brilliant…as is all your work mate. Obviously the angle is appealing (bit of vertigo happening as i look down:))) – but i like how you kept the exposure light to give a clean image:)

  • Anthony Mancuso replied

    thank you Ralph, it was quite surreal amoungst all the mist. Quite haunting really when you stop to think of all that have been before you. I was a bit annoyed I didn’t get to see more of the wall but was happy with the misty mood

    What a cool shot ….. Of course I am counting steps, and there appear to be a few more than 25 …...

  • Anthony Mancuso replied

    I knew someone would come along and challenge my eyesight!!! You could be right, I may have lost count somewhere along the way, after all, 25 is a big number : ) thanks Andy : )

    all the images are quite delightful …. great use of “infinity” with the fog … inviting POV

  • Anthony Mancuso replied

    many thanks Toby, the mist and fog was just amazing. I was annoyed that I didn’t get to see the wall stretching over the coutry side but the mood that the mist gave was quite surreal.

    I’m old enough to remember when there were only ‘Three Steps To Heaven’ Anthony. However when the quality of the steps is this good I really don’t mind if there’s another 22!!

    great shot, love the way the path trails into the distance. how many steps? perhaps 39 steps? ok I have a hitchcock brain but this isnt too far from the english moors with the mist and mood! lovely :)
