Gibraltar has lots of steps connecting the different levels of town.
This is Forty Steps, which connects Town Range with Prince Edward’s Road. No, I haven’t counted them.
And the story to go with the photo is here: Guardian Angel
Good grief! Were those the steps you had to climb?

Only 40? I did use the handrail!

Yeah, of course the handrail would have helped you helping a drunken woman up 40 stairs with a ankle that’s not fully healed. Now I just admire you more. 😀

Lol! Me and stairs don’t get on well without a handrail these days. She was halfway up though. Maybe only 20 to negotiate?

Still too many and it’s the same here. LOL! It’s a wonder she could climb the stairs.

I agree and by the way, love the title of the post. Very appropriate. 😀 Also love the shot. Reminds me of scenes I’ve seen in the horror movies/series I’ve watched. LOL!

Thanks Sonel. I wanted a title that tied the two together and made it a little more than just a shot of stairs at night. In the bucketing down rain! Yes, it could be out of a horror film. It surprised me when I looked at the photo. Reality looks different.
Must post other pix somewhere. Rufty tufty seas prob.

Well, I think you did a great job of it and I bet it surprised you. Made you wonder how you did it, I bet? LOL!
Can’t wait to see them, Rufty tufty! 😀

Hmm. Deciding how to do it. You know me and night shots and rain. Love them when the light falls right 🙂

that is gorgeous shot! What’s all the planking for though? Is this for the people who are tired from going up so can take a quick slide down? Or is it actually not wet wood that I’m seeing?
Well done on the helping the woman! Many would have just kept walking. I hope she finds a way to get out of that nasty relationship.

Thank you. I think it’s cement. For pushbikes, but mostly scooters/motos. Loads of those here.
I’m surpised how many would have walked. So, I did originally, but when the man had gone I snuck back. It worries me that people will no longer try and help others 😦

At first I thought it was the Grand Gallery in the Great Pyramid at Giza.

I wouldn’t mind visiting the pyramids. Forty Steps will have to do for now though.

I remember, the farthet on, but spoke there so have stopped here on my way back. It was a good thing, what ever is wrong with people who don’t automatically want to help others/ It’s beyond me *smiles*
– esme the Cloudy one knowing she’d fare badly coming down those stairs let alone climbing them

I try and climb them some evenings. And look out for people who struggle more than me. So it goes.
