The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.

That first set of steps looks very steep Ese. Where is it?

It is in Bulgaria, outskirts of Shumen – steps go all the way down to …the city (if somebody feels motivated to walk :). )

I hate descents simply because you somehow have to ascend as high. Beautiful pictures.

Brilliant photos for this challeneg, Ese. I really like the last one. Steep, dark, what a mystery down there. Going down might be easy, going up and reaching up and out is always challenging – we have to defy gravity and the naysayers around us 🙂

Shumen and Madara… I can tell the first two immediately 🙂 I have visited Madara twice but those stairs were always busy with people, I could never take a picture like yours… perfect symmetry and repetition… LOVE it 🙂

🙂 Yes! Once seen, those two are rather memorable – especially if climbed (the ones in Madara, not Shumen – that would have been asked too much from me!). Thank you, Alexandra – your comments are always enjoyed and appreciated.
