Slowly you will ascend these stairs, / A bundle of sun-colored leaves on your skirts, / And once you will look, crying, at the skies… The waters blanch.. as your face pales curtain-like, / As evening comes—observe the reddened air… / Ahmet Haşim This work sold as canvas print http://freaky665.deviantart.com/ / http://causticstock.deviantart.com/ / http://night-fate-stock.deviantart.com/ / © Manolya F 2008.

reworked for my first ‘Strairway To’ I did. This time with only 18 shades of blue
The grand staircase, this time shot with only available light/mirk for a more unsettling ‘Silent Hill’ look. Just a little light tone mapping to avoid burn-out and retain shadow detail, otherwise this is all natural – including the small scrap of very blue wallpaper in the bottom left.
The day summer arrived and it got stinking hot. This shot was taken at 5am and not a cloud in sight. The days temperature climbed up to 40.2°C in Brisbane. Summer is over is just over a week. This morning was certainly what I would expect in winter, crisp, vibrant and cloudless. Keep it coming…love it

The remnants of what was once a staircase continue to climb up the side of this old water tower.
Architecture design
View from inside the Cocathedral St-Antoine-de-Padoue in Longueuil, Quebec built between 1884 and 1887. / This beautiful construction of gothic inspiration has been designed by two architects, Albert Mesnard and Henri-Maurice Perrault. There are two asymmetrical towers in front, a very rare occurrence in Canada, although there are a few in France.

The real “Stairway To Kevin” is a music shop in nearby Leura mall, approached by …. stairs. Yes, they do have Led Zeppelin, and also a fine collection of folk and jazz. Alas, no Kevin. These are the steps long ago carved into the sandstone cliff at Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains National Park which are referred to here
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY A CARD WITHOUT THE WHITE BORDERS, I HAVE UPLOADED A CROPPED VERSION HERE Featured in: / Childhood group / The love of Eerie and Enchanting Artwork / Freedom to shine group Picture inspired by poem: If tears could build a stairway / and thoughts a memory lane / I’d walk right up to heaven / and bring you home again / No Farewell words were spoken / No time to say good-bye / You were gone before I knew it / And only God knows why. My heart’s still active in sadness / And secret tears still flow / What it meant to lose you / No one can ever know. / But now I know you want us / To mourn for you no more / To remember all the happy times / Life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten / I pledge to you today / A hallowed place within my heart / Is where you’ll always stay. God knows why, with chilling touch, / Death gathers those we love so much, / And what now seems so strange and dim, / Will all be clear, when we meet Him. / I Knew you for a Moment Poem can be found here / Background Here
Really it is…
Acrylic on masonite. Stairway To Heaven was one of the first abstracts that I ever painted and is still one of me best-selling prints to this day.

Studies going as far back as that of Goethe in the early 1700s have understood that pale green – the colour of new plant growth – is the most psychologically positive and restful colour… So I wonder what the authorities were trying to do to the already fragile minds of patients locked in shocking pink, electric green, and custard yellow cells? The more I look at my shots, the more clues to inherent barbarity I begin see in the treatment of vunerable people.
There is a special place just off the Blue Ridge Parkway where you can climb these stairs to a beautiful overlook. The best times seem to be when the mist is moving in over the mountains. This picture is dedicated to Annie and Jean – my sisters who have climbed these stairs with me!! Taken in Western North Carolina. I used the PhotoShop Orton effect to give this picture an even more dreamy texture. Featured in Southern Style: A Downhome Perspective – June 11, 2009!
