staircase

Staircase going up to the 2nd level of the Rizal Shrine museum in Fort Santiago. Nothing out of the ordinary here and very simple compared to the Pambansang Museo staircase but i just always see photos of stairs in magazines and decided to give it a shot. The painting you see below is Jose Rizal's portrait. But if you'd notice, this staircase is very typical of those old houses, when i was a kid i used to think most of the houses, specially the old ones, looked the same. I did love playing slide in shiny balustrades... what about you?

PS. photo still grainy since i'm not using flash so as not to attract the guard's attention.
