I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

Wow, this is a gorgeous set of old stairs +David Mathre ! I love the fading lines on the steps and the contrast against the red brick, yet the white of the steps blends well with the white in the brick. Thanks for sharing with +Stairs Thursday !
+Liz MC There are 400+ steps to the top of the church, and the same number down. At least the spiral sections have separate up and down paths. The white lines are to help you see the steps in the dark. It is tight and no hand rails. An experience.
Wow, that is quite an experience, and I'm sure your legs thank you for that! We walked to the top of St Paul's Cathedral in London and it has 300+ if I remember right. That's quaint with the lines to help you see. Thanks for that info +David Mathre !
