    • dear Tina Snijder,
      in the meantime the stairs are very dirty and dark
      – every year they need to buy new colors –
      now they have no more further money, I fear …

  28. I love that shot and the gorgeous colors. It is a cheerful staircase and I wonder if the people who climb it daily appreciate it or get jaded. ;-). TY for the pingback!
