Scrap Path
About a week ago I said I'd upload a photo of a very humble stairway, and here it is. Its treads are made of scraps of wood and the handrail is a thin wisp of a tree trunk, an improvement over the original rope. I don't know how long the stairs have been here or been in this form. I imagine that years ago it was just a dirt path. Then, probably, someone brought in the wood scraps so that the path was still useful in the rainy season.

ReplyDeleteCharming! In the middle of a sophistcated city of a million and a half people.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm not sure I'd want to climb it (it looks very steep), but I would enjoy looking at it each day.
ReplyDeleteI love these stairs.
ReplyDeleteHopefully there was a sign announcing the weight limit ? Doesn't look like it would stand up to too heavy a load...
ReplyDelete:-)
It's only a little troubling to go up the stairs and feel them bow beneath me.
ReplyDeleteYou are brave.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather go up than down.
