More steps, Washington, D.C.

Here’s another steps/ramp (driveway) combination that I snapped during our recent travels — at the back of DACOR Bacon House, an historic former residence a couple of blocks from the White House in Washington, D.C.


I like the mix of old brick and pebbly concrete.

BELOW: In front of a D.C. office building, I also spotted this nice solution to those sharp planting bed corners that are always bare dirt because people cut across them.

This is a walkway combining steps and ramps between St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge.

The strange black and white sculpture in the photo below is a variation of the mascots of the 2012 Olympics.

I also spotted these interesting steps, below, at Magdalen College, Oxford.
