Up, Up And Away

These stairs must have been made either between the two world wars or shortly after the second. They lead to the top of the hill south of our village, to a memorial. Sometimes you can see me staring at the memorial, see below. Thanks to Chantler63 for hosting the Mono Monday challenge.

Extra: this memorial is, IMHO, ugly and outdated. Okay, I'm fine with remembering the family members, friends, neighbours, etc. after a war. But need it be with such an ugly thing? And then the dead of WWI are called our "heroes". Germany was the aggressor, not a victim. The texts are all in encient German gothic font. And last but not least, only the German dead are mentioned. Not the others. (At least the village has some "Stolpersteine".) I would love to see this thing disappear.
