It's one of my favourite sets of steps in Edinburgh, but they seem to get steeper the older I get.

And a Bonnie Lassie. They are getting steeper, it couldn't be we are getting older, never.

I certainly out of puff at the top nowadays... needing a beer to get things back to normal.

Very nice image but my arthritic hips would have a hard time making it up there.

That's why they retrofitted the centre handrail for people at an advanced state of decay.

I have been up and down those steps a number of times, just as well I am still agile

Great 'S' steps..it all fits together really well...glad I am not climbing them though!

My knees started hurting as soon as I looked at this shot!

I like the photo a lot - I wonder why winding staircases are so intriguing.

Thank you, worryingly this is one of the small step sets available for the general publics delight in Edinburgh.

No... they were put there to separate the uppers from the downers.

So I'll not plan racing you just yet then...

It gives the eye something to following in the image.

Doesn't seem to work then for the one or two souls who use them daily.

I guess they come from different countries then... driving on the left or driving on the right.

Nice image KD (and even a bit of colour in the stonework - even if it is a moss (or something) from the cold and wet clime)
