We have another new host this week, Aletta from nowathome and she is setting the them of STEPS AND STAIRS.
She did a post, I think for Lens-Artists Challenge and I commented that the steps and stairs could be good in monochrome and then asked her if you she wanted to do. Now here we are.
I know I have taken photos of stairs and steps, but I don’t know where they are, but I did manage to find some. It is an interesting theme and steps are a great subject for monochrome. A couple of these you have seen before in colour, but I have converted them to monochrome and others are new ones.
There are so many different types and it was fun doing this.
As I was thinking about images I could use I wondered about doing some AI generated images. So I asked the generator in Photoshop to create the following images of steps and stairs. I did try for way out images to see what it could do.
Take a look.
Please help me thank Aletta from nowathome for being our host this week. Please link any posts you do back to her. Also it would be great to go and check out her post.
If you would like to have a go at hosting next year, I’m happy to start taking requests.

These are so impressive – so well edited with style Kudos to you
Thank you so much Ritva.
Beautiful – it imports newness.
Thank you.
Spiral staircases should classify as art 🙂. The Titanic staircase is lovely..
The should PR, they are special. Thank you so much.
You’re right, stairs do work well in monochrome. I especially love the drama of your spiral staircase shot!
Don’t they Sarah. I love spiral staircases. Though I have to say I climbed to the top of that lighthouse up those stairs and I didn’t think they were so great then. There was a lot of them.
Great photos Leanne😄 I am not keen on AI photos.
Thank you for allowing me to be a host, I really appreciate it very much ☺️
Thank you Aletta, I know people don’t necessarily like the AI images, but I like to try and see what I can get.
You’re very welcome and I loved that you wanted to do it. Let me know if you want to do it again.
Thank you Leanne, I will let you know.
😁☺️😊
Wow, awesome photos.
Thank you Sofia.
You’ve risen to Aletta’s callenge with your usual panache. Here’s my quickly-scrabbled-together post: https://margaret21.com/2024/10/16/workaday-staircases/
Thanks Margaret.
Steps and stairs in monochrome give off a mysterious air and sometimes can be eery!
Nice theme. 🙂
that is an interesting obseration Esther, thank you.
Some wonderful photos Leanne. Helps me confirm my dislike for AI
hahaha, yeah, I knew the AI images would be controversial, thank you Brian.
Fantastic theme and photos!
Thank you Egidio, I think Aletta did well.
These are so beautifully done. So many of them would fit my upcoming theme, spooky. Especially the AI images but most of yours as well.
Well done!
Thank you Dawn, that’s interesting, I’ve been thinking about your theme a lot.
Lots of variety here! These are fun. My own post will be simpler as we’re on the point of going away for a few days. But I’ll find something for Aletta.
Thank you Margaret, they are fun. That’s okay, I will look out for it.
some splendid staircases there!

The first photo reminds me of the fan blades on a jet engine, cool!
The steps in the lighthouse, I can see what you are saying. Thank you John.
