Up,Down,In,Out,Round about,spiralling.
Up,Down,In,Out,Round about,Spiraling all lead somewhere.
Some are grand,can be beautiful,made of stone,wood,aluminium,glass,clouds,many materials.
Some are boring,some are dark some are light,some are flights,some creative,some are dangerous.
Some are different colors.Hogwarts had over a hundred.Some move some are static.Last week ai fell down one,hurt my foot.
Staircases…
The last image is where I had an exhibition.people stood on the grand staircase,for the opening speech.
The harbor entrance by the sea was bombed,and my painting is of it. I imagined it as a stairway to heaven.
I sat in the freezing winter cold until a huge wave went over me,nearly sweeping me into a dark angry sea
So,post memes.paintings,songs, movies or trailers,buildings,castles featuring stairways,or words describing them like spiraling,or the materials they are made of.
Remember please respect commenters,no religious comments or politics here.
We are here to enjoy our friends.

Beautiful places in our memories.Place you memories here.
Beautiful places in our memories,place your memories here.
Maybe it’s where you live,or would like to live?
Maybe places you have visited.
I wonder,in the present climate,if we can travel freely to see dear friends, or places again.
Will we only have memories left to travel?Maybe these places will have changed dramatically,or even people.
I once visted the Blue Mosque,the interior was an open space.I revisited again,people were channeled,segregated,and herded into different areas,with barriers,and partitions between ‘believers and non-believers.Had to wear special covering robes,handed out.
The Roman baths in Bath were several small pool areas,and on one of my first visits midsummernight,I bought a ticket to swim in the Roman baths.Two years later I took my grandmother,it had changed dramatically.a larger space with hotspring streams,and foot bridges.Being a romantic I was stunned at the changes,it looked beautiful but quite different,my mind wandered back to Jane Austin's visit.How was it in those days,in comparison,we have Jane Austins memories in her writings.no more swimming in the Roman Baths allowed!!!
Some of the pictures below are my favourite travel memories;Waterfall beach,WA.,Istanbul.See how many you know?Hydrapassa Istanbul,and Isandras tower in Uskudar.Isandra was the Sultan's daughter.A fortuneteller predicted Isandra woul be bitten by an asp and die.The Sultan built the tower in the Bosphorous for his daughter to save her from her fate.Her lover a prince,swam to her every night with fruit and flowers,in the fruit was an asp whch bit her and she died.
So post your favorite memories of places,music written about places,memes,trailersanecdotes,mention books too.
Remember no politics or religious commemts please,respect other commenters.
Most of all enjoy

Dogday Afternoon.
Dogday Afternoon.
Dog Blog.
Love em or hate em,I luve em.
Dogs are A man’s best friend
Diamonds are a woman’s best friend
I prefer dogs to diamonds,which I find too glitzy,always had dogs,but the best was a border collie.
Loved learning,carrying shopping,and very well trained,never had a leash,always two inches from my heel,and waited outside shops,he would never have moved.He also loved childrens icecream,his one weakness,stealing icecreams.
He considered himself human.
Best qualities in dogs,they are loyal,intelligent,can be great companions.
Small dogs dont really seem like dogs to me.
I’m amazed watching guide dogs stopping at crossings amd leading their owner safely across,also how enthusiastic sheep dogs are at herding and protecting.Police dogs and rescue dogs perform a service,and dogs in the army or airforce fearlessly parachute from planes.Some dogs are heros.
However,I noticed after lockdown some dogas are being carried everywhere.
If I were to choose a stone my favorite is emeralds,rubies or opals.
Remember please no politics or religious comments.
Pots,commemts,music,memes, gifs,trailers chat with friends.
Most of all enjoy Lian
