Forgotten Window

This typical pointed Venetian window is part of the Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, or 'snail tower' located near the Rialto and dating from the 15th century.

Wooden Stairs

Taken on the beach at Carlsbad, California. I loved these multi-tiered wooden stairs that gave access to the beach from the cliff above.

Neglected

This stairway, off a small campo in Venice, was actually chained off to passersby. Like many parts of this beautiful city, the stone stairs and attached building appear abandoned and forgotten.
