Post Your best "Indoor Stairs and Stairwells" shots

I was on the south side of S.A. running errands, so I went to walk around the Mission San Jose grounds, which is operated by the National Park Service. The mission church (which is run by the San Antonio Archdiocese) is usually open to the public when not being used for services. But, since there were very few people visiting on this Monday afternoon, both front & rear entries were locked. However, I did notice the (usually locked) bell tower stairway gate was open. Hmmm. No 'keep out' signage anywhere, so ...

Very good capture of a fascinating effect.

Not the most elegant or creative staircase photo. Just the oldest stairs I've ever been on.
These were built in appx. 1250 AD and lead to the observation deck of St. Olav church in Tallinn, Estonia which it
was claimed was at one time the tallest building in the world. They didn't build stairs very wide back in the 1250's.
Of course, it was a good bet they weren't worried about tourists climbing those stairs some 770 years later.

A detail from a much higher parking garage stairwell. The repetitive pattern of the stairs is interesting to me, but with the added reflections it takes on a whole new level of complexity

But it was nice for the designers of 1250AD to add a nice handrail for you.

I like the image. Must have been nice to have trodden there as well.

Good news, I've got 8K video of me "troddening" up the stairs and the view from the "safety platform".
