Spiral Staircase, Vatican

Going up to Sistine Chapel

Going down from Sistine Chapel

Snap!

This is possibly the most photographed exhibit in the vatican museums. Sistine chapel is far too dark for hand-held exposures plus photography is forbidden there. This staircase has been built in 1932 by Giuseppe Momo. It's in the newer part of the museums.

Technical: hand-held, uncropped with minor colour adjustments

-Added to theCream of the Crop pool as my personal favorite.

You can only miss the stairs if you take the wrong exit from the Sistine chapel
