I did. Speedway was prescient when she quoted Dr. King, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."
I took both photos a couple of years ago. I was pretty mad at myself when I forgot to use yesterday's picture for Martin Luther King Day last year.
I did climb the stairs. They led to private property, which I did not invade.
But I remember where they are.
I love that quote. This looks very peaceful, Petrea.
ReplyDeleteI love that stone wall! Wow, Petrea, lucky you to climb those stairs.
ReplyDeleteIs this somewhere in South Pas?
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty place, Shell. Quiet, private, overgrown. My favorite.
ReplyDeleteKalei, I agree! I felt privileged.
Hiker, almost. It's just south of the South Pas border in LA proper.
Stairway to heaven?
ReplyDeleteI know the stairs well, never went up them, but know them.
ReplyDeleteSo very true about the stairs quote.
May your explorations set us ALL free.
Stairway to an overgrown yard, Maria.
ReplyDeleteThought you might, Trish.
It may just be me, but I'm more inclined to take the first step when the staircase goes up, rather than down.
ReplyDeletesometimes the untended, unmanincured properties are the most interesting.
ReplyDeletealso, i thought the same as Hiker. is this on Monterey Road, between South Pas and Hermon?
ReplyDeleteThis one goes both ways, Speeday. Har.
ReplyDeleteYou've got it, Alex.
A stairway with character, perhaps some secrets...
ReplyDeleteHey, you'll have to show me. This must've near me.
ReplyDeleteVery compelling photo. Yep, I'd have walked up these steps too, just to see where they led.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, Ms. M. If there are no secrets, I don't want to know.
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy to take you there, Margaret. Maybe it can be one of your walks.
Inescapable temptation, Katie.
I was going to say that your photo looks like my neighborhood. I guess it is
ReplyDeleteStairway to heaven, or to the house where the Black Dahlia murderer may have lived? (according to his son).
ReplyDeleteYah, PA.
ReplyDeleteOh you know, Bellis, you're right. If I remember correctly, that's in this neighborhood, isn't it? Right around the corner.
Where is this taken from?
ReplyDeleteHi SSS, welcome.
ReplyDeleteAlex guessed it in a previous comment: "on Monterey Road, between South Pas and Hermon." It's next to the garage pictured in the previous day's post.
Sorry my mistake I didn't see it. i did like the blog though.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Sometimes I'm a little concerned about giving out locations, as in this case the stairs lead to private property. But they're visible from the street and, legally speaking, as long as you're standing on public property when you snap the shutter, it's okay to photograph them.
