Stairs of Triumph

“The world is like a grand staircase, some are going up and some are going down.”
Samuel Johnson 1709-1784

These folks are ascending the spiral staircase inside the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

    Nice! I really like staircase shots. But they also make me think of the movie "Veritgo".
