This is one of the four entrances to the park I´ve introduced you to last week.
The Koernerpark is situated below street level, so you have to walk down these beautiful flight of stairs to get to the garden area.
Somehow this does always make me feel like a movie star 😉
Also, today is my first blog anniversary here on WordPress!!! (Somehow I totally missed this date and haven´t prepared anything special! So sorry about that!)
Lovely photo, Sarah, and congrats on your anniversary!!! 🙂

I’ve gotten one edit done, but want to sweep back through it two more times. Then I’ll start querying agents, probably late this year. It’s a slow process. 😦

Happy Blog Anniversary Sarah! Doesn’t it just excite us to cross a milestone! Keep rocking girl!
The picture gives such a royal classy look. Makes me imagine, a lady in a lavish, frilled black gown trailing behind her as she runs towards her love, waiting down the stairs! Awwwww! How heartening! 💕💕 😋

Oho! That image in your head sounds definitely like a must-see!! Maybe I can persuade someone to enact that scene for us on the steps 😉 How lovely that it inspires you to such a beautful imagery 😀
And let me tell you how lovely it is, to hear from you again!! I know you´re very busy, and I´m on this low profile thing regarding the internet at the moment – but I really missed you a lot!!!
Have a very beautiful week, dear friend!!! xxxxxxx ❤

There are quite a few remarkable scenes that were shot on the stairs – especially in romantic movies 🙂 This photograph does look like a part of a movie 🙂

Thank you so much, Inese!!! 🙂 Your comments always make me beam 😀
Do you have any particular movie scenes in mind? I can only remember the staircase from “Gone with the Wind” at the moment, but am sure there are a few lovely ones with Grace Kelly, too… I love stairs, they appeal to me very much, and I always try to use them instead of an elevator, to keep fit 😉

Oh, film noir have plenty of stair scenes, almost in each movie :). All those dramatic ascents and descents, and passionate kisses with a high risk of falling and breaking their necks 🙂

Lately I´m also trying to take pictures in colour, but tend to do so only from flowers, landscapes or animals. Otherwise I´m a sucker for monochrome photographs 😉

I can understand that. Your monochrome images are stunning! I’m kind of the opposite — I almost forget I can work in even black and white unless I’m reminded.
