A fine photo, Julio-- good detail and tone everywhere!

I accept your invitation and add a photo of the East steps at St. Agatha's Conservatory in downtown St. Paul. It has just been sold and will no longer be a conservatory. The photo was made with a Nikon FM and 50mm f/2 lens on (original) APX 100; I believe the film was developed in D-76 1:1; the snow is from a previous winter .

Good photos both of you. Julio, yours has a very Edward Weston look to it.
I'll join this with my offering.

Paris, 1980
Shot with a Nikon FE and the Vivitar Series 1 35-85mm.
The original was taken with Kodachrome 64, but the magic of computer technology has allowed me to convert it to a black and white photo.

Like yours, Julio. Here's one taken near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, in 2008.

Thanks for the comments, fine pictures all. Bill''s made me think of the music students going up on those curved stairs.

James, I did not remember so many steps up to the Washington Memorial but that picture is a fine document. Must be a really wide lens.

Mike, I like the light on those stairs and the haze below.

These are not steps to the memorial itself, but only to a platform from which many other steps lead to it. That was with a very wide Sigma lens, which I no longer have. This shot was at 10mm on a digital Pentax with a 1.5x "crop factor," meaning that it was equivalent to 15mm in 35mm terms.
