Amazing Staircases

As you visit houses, or public buildings, it's interesting to observe the variation in stairs, treads and handrails.  Alicia Moss has kindly researched this collection of amazing staircases.

Geoffrey Packard designed this amazing staircase above.   In fact, this one of Packard's DNA inspired staircases, if you have ever seen pictures of those double-helix molecules, then you can see the similarity.

A Staircase from an Art Gallery?

Will and Guy ponder:- 'Why cannot we have more indoor staircases like the above'.  It would also make traipsing the streets more interesting if we could have steps like those below.

The river that ran away to paradise - Caño Cristales Thanks Ray!

  The river that ran away to paradise - Caño Cristales, which is located near the town of La Macarena in Colombia, South America.
During a brief span between wet and dry seasons, when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss bloom in a dazzling display of colors.
Without any roads leading to this river, it must be accessed by horse.
