Stepped Lane

No. 43 of 50 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA stepped lane climbing past houses in cream, sand and turquoise, with pots of plants on the steps and an arch bridging the way.

What it meansIn hill towns, lanes too steep for carts become flights of steps, shared by neighbours and lined with plants.

Where it worksLively and bright, a good fit for a stairwell.
