This looks like it is ready for a movie to be filmed of bad guys running, fighting, and shooting down the staircase.

Gorgeous photo. I shot some stairs at a library and the light on the black marble gave this same golden effect. You did take some photos for us on your trip! Merci.

was this shot in a mirror?

Thank you all friends for your comments.

No, Ken, I took the picture from the top floor pointing the camera down.

Last Friday the Cultural Association "Vivere Crenna" of the City of Gallarate had organized a video-presentation of 135 of my photos, which has generated a lot of enthusiasm among the (more than 80) people invited for this event. Their reactions were beyond my expectations. After the presentation I received other inviations from similar Associations to hold other presentations. Apart from blogging, which is my favourite leisure-time engagement, I find the participation to this kind events also very stimulating for going on making photos!
