Padungan's Spiral Staircases & various memories

No photo description available.
The Spiral Staircases at the back of the Padungan Road (Kuching) the sunshine and the white paint (new) just make it such an interest scene to shoot...must go back to shoot more photos in the future....Hope to catch the morning sun there and enjoy a well deserved coffee again.....

 

Sibu's famous spiral staircase at the back of the Pulau Road.


Spiral stairs have been introduced in the medieval times. The original stone stairs would typically wound in a clockwise direction (from the ascender's point of view). An attacking right handed swordsman would be at a disadvantage e.g. Muchalls Castle. However the stairs at Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo winds up counter clockwise.


The famous Trajan's Column in Rome has a spiral staircase. It was constructed in AD113.

But in later years I read about the Loretto Staircase and the story gets stuck in my mind..some things just don't disappear so easily in the recesses of our brains!! And a sight in Padungan just trigger off a lot of thoughts.

The Sisters of St. Loretto . This spiral staircase has a legend.

Great blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring
writers? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little
lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a
free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!

Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely
long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm
thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for rookie blog writers? I'd definitely appreciate it.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog
like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% sure.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha
plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems
finding one? Thanks a lot!

Hey your web page url: http://www.blogger.com/comment.

g?blogID=4765555411888082127&postID=4563688483631366199 seems to be
redirecting to a completely different website when
I click the home-page link. You might want to have this checked.
