You always surprise me! The stairs looks more heavy in B & W. Great idea, I love the use of B&W mix with Color. You always surprise me! The stairs looks more heavy in B & W.

Thanks Lisi for part 2. Being Away from HK, I haven't been on it for a while and I miss it. This street can be one's budget stepper or an important means to get from one level to the next in the hilly city. Points of destinations seem limitless...when looking up, one cannot see the top...don't know where it ends... until one gets there. Btw, the stairs of Montmartre in Paris are awesome. Sadly, I don't believe we can find a "ladder street" in Shanghai; we were inforned that it is on the plains. :-) Another wonderful shot Lisi; and great photoshopping!

Olivier, mucho gracias (just for a change) :-) Ame and Stu, yes I take Ladder Street from time to time, it isn't so bad if I don't look up and imagine myself climbing Montmartre. Thank you everyone. Have a nice sunday! It's time for me to get back to the assignment. jan, carraol, Michael, if I were in charge, I would definitely install those beautiful street lamps along the street, it would be so beautiful that it equals the Montmartre steps.

I am sure they have their own magic and pain perhaps? I love the name - Ladder Street - but would I ever be able to climb to the top?

Kala you remind me of your self portrait :-) Kris, I'll join them too coz' they were going downhill when I saw them lol keropok, I think I know which street you talked about, not likely to be this one but this one here http://hongkongdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2006/05/bape-store-and-gas-lamps.html because it is a popular location... If Cal see this, I hope you can tell us more about how you made the walk from "head to tail" from Queen's Road especially after work!!!! Wilf, I think it’s doable for u :-)
