    Hi Garry, I love your post. I like the steps on Serenity’s boat. 😀

      We are assured it is technically a “companionway.” Everyone still calls it “the stairs.”

      Thanks, Cee. These days, it’s easier going up rather than down the stairs. I had a helluva time walking down a few steps while doing an on camera thing recently. You can’t look down as you’re jabbering. harder than it seems.

    Stairways can be so inviting, I’ve take a few photos of stairways that caught my fancy.

    Favorite fire escape scene: “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” — Audrey Hepburn sitting on fire escape, strumming guitar and singing “Moon River”.

    I think I might get lost on the fire escape! We seldom see them like that here — they’re usually inside cement or brick columns.

      Slmret., I remember fire escapes from my “yoot” when we lived in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx. Back in the fabulous 40’s. Yes, Mom warned me NOT to play on the Fire Escape. But……

        The fire escapes must have been a fun place to play — I still think they were like a maze, a good place to get lost!

          Slmret, the fire escapes were wonderful places to play as a kid. Yes, sometimes a maze, sometimes a jungle, sometimes the wild frontier. Great place for youthful fantasies.

      I don’t know what they are using on new buildings. You only see those on building from the 1950s or earlier.
