Sweeping
The Philippine National Art Gallery, the home of Juan Luna's Spoliarium, is a 1916 American colonial era building which used to be the Philippines' Legislative Building, just as the building of the National Museum of the Filipino People used to be the Finance Building. This is the Legislative Building's elegant marble spiral staircase with wrought iron banisters and a softly gleaming wooden handrail. I just wish the gallery staff didn't keep supplies and trash under the stairs, even temporarily.

What a beautiful staircase.
I am glad you are having a great time in Canada. Makes the the indignity of the mug shot visa photo worth it.
i loved the angle of your picture, it´s very beautiful, congratulations!
Great shot....I can imagine a bride walking down. Hope you are having fun on your trip!
Double wow.... so true ... why do Phil. janitors/tress have that habit? Even here in Davao... cleaning stuff and trash are dumped under the stairs... huh!

Really eye-catching and dramatic – it caught my attention right away. Perfect composition!
First, that stairway is magnificent. Second, that is a wonderful picture. You capture its magnificence quite well.
Elegant is the exact right word, that must be a beautiful building. Great capture.
Like the delicate curve of an ear. Beautiful.
Nice staircase. Great pattern!

I love the view on this staircase. It makes for a perfect photo.
i love this photo!!!! spirals are symbols of perfection. :D
That's a lot of marble and beautiful, intricate ironwork! How many steps? Did you get dizzy counting them?
Very nice staircase, looks like those in french chateaux! But keeping trash underneath???
Well done Hilda!
Ditto - super pic. For a completely different staircase, try todaysDurhamDailyPhoto entry.
Love this angle! The details are beautiful :D
Great stairway. This one really lends it to photography with the nice sweeping curves. Beautifully done.
I always love seeing circular staircases, and this one is stunning!
Hope your weekend was good!
That is just gorgeous, Hilda. I love the filigree of the railing and that beautiful curve. What a stunning shot!
