Photographer's Note
Steep stairs
The Schlossberg (Castle Hill), at 473 meters (1,552 ft) above sea level, is a tree-clad hill, and the site of a fortress, in the center of the city of Graz, Austria. The hill is now a public park and enjoys extensive views of the city.
The Schlossberg lies in the center of Graz. The mountain is easily accessible by the Schlossberg funicular that carries the passengers from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top. It is also easily possible to reach the top by walking. A series of steep staircases lead directly to the large clock tower, and a serpentine path on the opposite side of the mountain also leads to the top and ends up in nearly the same place as the stairs.

Hi Piotr,
The person needs to be in shape to go up the stairs. The point of view is showing the details of the stairs of the castle. It is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

Hello Piotr,
I can imagine there is a different sight from each level of those multi-stairs cases, would only imagine climbing this.
Excellent picture from there.
Have a nice new day,

Pozdrav.
Interesantan i lep pogled, dobar telst ...
lepo stepeniste na litici, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama i kontrastom.
Dobar rad, lepa fotografija.
Bas treba snage i vremena da se popne do velike kule.
Lepa ograda na stepenistu i lampe.
Zelim vam lep i uspesan dan, sve najbolje.

Hi Piotr,
The zig zag stairs look lik an arduous trip going up, but should be quite manageable going down. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hello Piotr,
This is another amazing composition. The staircase creates a fine pattern of diagonal lines on the steep hillside and you made good use of the shadow in the lower corner to complement the frame made by trees and bushes. We see a few persons going up or down and two ladies who stopped to enjoy the view. These persons are important for animating the photo. You cropped it perfectly and it's also perfectly exposed.
Best regards,
Gert

Czesc Piotr,
trzeba sie troche nachodzic zeby dojsc do punktu widokowego...
Bardzo fotogeniczne schody i miales tam fajne swiatlo. Na pierwszy rzut oka myslalem ze to jakas kreacja Gaudiego.
Swietny reportaz,

Hello Piotr,
This is like a puzzle, traversing from left to right, to reach the top!
The concrete wall, with metal fencing inserts, makes a fine, repeating pattern, magnified by the presence of the lampposts.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Piotr,
Quite wonderful tall staircase built right on the vertical rock cliff. Design follows land forms perfectly. Nice to see those women up enjoying the views.

Hi Piotr,great idea this pic! Not the usual great view of castle but a close up on the staircases,so long and original,not a comfortable walk but surely amazing to do, a perfect capture in the best light and quality! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Piotr.
Very original composition, this ladder is to measure the resistance of people, having funicular I do not think
many people are encouraged to this endeavor.
Sharpness, lighting, color, and magnificent composition; they are managed to perfection, in this interesting image.
Good job. I like it.
You have a good day. Very best regards.
Luis.

Cześć Piotrze,
Jakie wspaniałe schody i ja je porzegapiłam! Mam je na jakims zdjęciu, ale między domami. Ja wjeżdżałam i zjeżdżałam ta kolejką. Niesamowite, szkoda, że nie widziałam.

Hello Piotr,
A great photo of the rocky cliffs here, the stairs add some great diagonal lines through the composition and the green of the fence makes them stand out more clearly. Excellent sunlight also.

Hello Piotr,
So these are the stairs to climb to Schlossberg.
The ladies found a very good vantage point.
But vice versa is also beautiful.
The view from where you stood on these stairs provides a splendid composition.
Best regards, Paul
