| The category for this Photo Hunt is "circular," and this gorgeous circular staircase (designed in 1932 by Giuseppe Momo) can be found in the Vatican Museum. Actually, the stairs form a double helix, with one leading up and the other down. Wonder what the folks at the Vatican thought 21 years later when Crick and Watson discovered the double helical DNA strand and that formation came to represent life itself.

ReplyDeleteI love spirals. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI should think Captain Nemo would regard this photo as highly as I do, after all, he christened his ship “The Nautilus."
Double-helix stairway”—There are intimations that Leonardo Da Vinci may have designed the double-helix staircase at the early 16th-century, Loire-Valley Château de Chambord (3rd paragraph under “Architecture”).
Wow nice photo!

ReplyDeleteWalking those steps is amazing... as is most of the Vatican. I wish I'd gotten better pictures.
