Park Gardens Staircase

From the Friends of Kelvingrove Park website:

"Architect Charles Wilson's grand entrance to his Park Circus development was originally planned for the westerly Park Gate entrance to Kelvingrove, as part of an axial route leading down to a proposed new bridge over the river. For some unknown reason, in Wilson's revised scheme of 1855 the staircase was relocated to a less prominent site at Park Gardens. Constructed of grey Bonawe granite from Argyll, Wilson's imposing staircase and balustrades are reputed to have cost a staggering £10,000. Unfortunately, this exorbitant sum forced the omission of planned statues on the main piers."

Mucking about with the lensbaby again but nothing inspired struck. This needed a ball bouncing down it. Or maybe a pram for that Eisenstein feel...
