The stairs in the foyer of Rådhuset is my favourite stairs. (This is the Fediverse, so I assume everyone has a favourite stairs.) Aside from the design, I like the way it frames Aarhus City Hall’s foundation stone.
I thought I knew it well, but only learnt this week that there’s a time capsule buried beneath it. A lead pipe with documents, coins and newspapers of the day. Laid in 1938. Little knowing that Nazis would be occupying the city before construction was finished.
If you think I only have one photo of the stairs inside city hall, then you have another toot coming.

@CiaraNi Only 1 other toot? Disappointing.

@CiaraNi as ever, your photos of Denmark (along with my own from this summer) make me wonder why I'm back in Ireland and not over there!

@liebach I suspect I'm about to not resist posting a few more. I never have the discipline to stop.

@CiaraNi these stairs are definitely worth multiple photos!

@ronanmcd Yeah but on the other hand, there's no Tayto and nobody thanks the bus driver and if you say 'ah tanks but no tanks, I can't stop, am flying, oh ok just half a cup, but I won't take me coat off' while you take your coat off and settle in at the kitchen table for three hours, they look at you funny.

@aces_funhouse It's beautiful architecture. The whole building (which is listed) is incredible - every tiny architectural element thought through.

@CiaraNi oh....I wish I'd been there to see it in person too! I love this kind of thing!

Such a beautiful public space.

@CiaraNi One take and I was lucky - not necessarily my favorite stairs, because there is too much poignancy to the whole building, but striking in its appearance nonetheless.
Main stairs at the Stasi headquarters in Berlin.

@CiaraNi And yes, current favorite staircase: back staircase in the Postsparkasse building in Vienna. I had to be a bit sneaky to take my photo.

@leonieke Great composition. Captures the atmosphere of that place - I visited it years ago and it still sticks with me.

@CiaraNi Yes, it's been on my mind off and on as well: I left it feeling very subdued.

@leonieke Subdued. That's it. It's a very particular kind of subdued, flat awfulness-residue.

@CiaraNi That residue made me feel a bit dirty as well for looking at this horrible history with fascination.
