The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge creative inspiration for this week is UP! This shot is my interpretation of the theme.
“Up” © Cheryl Andrews
I took the shot looking up the (178) iron steps in the spiral staircase that takes you to the top of the Tybee Island (GA) Light House. Making it all the way to the top, which I did, was an event in and of itself!
Other UP! interpretations you might like too!

Love your view of lighthouse steps, with the lighting making them look like burnished gold. Thanks for linking my “Up” photo in your blog!

Thanks! I was very lucky with the natural lighting. A little help from freeware (Picasa) to saturate the lighting slightly was all it needed to make me happy with the shot.

Lugging my camera equipment to the top gave me an excuse to stop when I was out of breath … to take pictures, of course … thank God for auto focus!

Thanks, Patti! The lighting made it such an easy capture; but I didn’t make the climb without several rest breaks.

Good morning! Thanks for linking to my UP photo as well! I love photos like yours that involved an activity (climbing to the top) and also helps to make the photo more memorable.
