Thanks everyone for the excellent and varied entries this week.

Eidelweiss - I like the contrast between the old worn stairs and the bright foliage creeping along the right.

dilorenzo1954 - Love the geometry and the repeating patterns of that old stairwell. Hope you didn't have to climb up all those stairs.

LtDave - your composition and lighting do a good job of leading the eye in and down those stairs. Was it a lighthouse or an old tower?

RDWP - Interesting stairs in the cliff hugging trail. Reminds me of some of the beach access stairs along our north coast.

I know everyone says it - it's tough to judge these challenges. This one is no exception. This week first place honors go to LtDave with an honorable mention to dilorenzo1954.

Congratulations to LtDave!

yes it was an old lighthouse near the tip of the lower peninsula of michigan. we visited 3 lighthouses that day. i THINK it was Old Presque Isle Light built in 1840 (now decommissioned)

thanks for the nod!
