These stairs are crazy, but the house is pretty cool: https://www.oldhousedreams.com/2025/01/08/1928-french-eclectic-in-modesto-ca/

I have never seen brick stairs this narrow. It's a house for sale, but the OP didn't post the link, even though she said she would. This cannot be legal. Can you imagine falling down hard bricks?

Tucked away in a secret corner of the forest, this enchanting stone cottage looks like it was plucked straight from the pages of a fairytale. With ivy trailing up the weathered walls and sunlight dancing on the tiled roof, this charming retreat invites you to unwind and enjoy a tranquil moment in the quaint courtyard. The rustic wooden table, set for outdoor dining, is perfect for an afternoon tea or an intimate dinner surrounded by nature. Every detail, from the arched doorways to the flower-filled window boxes, whispers of timeless European charm, offering a peaceful escape into a storybook world where life moves at a slower, more magical pace.

Royalty at its Finest at Windsor Castle!

Our tour bus arrived in the regal town of Windsor and parked near the train station before we stumbled out into the winter chill.  Located thirty miles west of London, Windsor Castle overlooks the fertile Berkshire landscape of England and its battlements can be seen from miles around.  One of three magnificent residences of London’s royal family, Windsor Castle, has been inhabited by the rulers…

(as a first-time adult viewer i was worried i wouldn't be able to Access the Magic. but i could and i did and it was incredible. that was culture. that was ART. joy distilled into animated form. holy rites of childhood. i understand now. how glorious, this world we grow out of. how full of marvels. i'm going outside to smell grass and sun and get dirt under my fingernails. miraculous.)
