Nifty - read a little about your subject and will have to read some more. Thanks for the photo and the history.
What a great tribute. I think these steps say so much more and have a greater impact than just a statue would.
Oh goodness. I wonder how many steps it is in all?
The emotions engendered by this picture are quite overwhelming.
The last steps are almost that special.
Impressive picture and history.
This are so evocative when you read the text.
Very compelling story, and a fantastic angle. It conveys the feeling of following the last steps. Splendidly done!
Perfect title for an interesting (hi)story. A great tribute for your National hero.
