This has been haunting me since I made this image. I have been wanting to replace the staircase because of all the dialog about sprial vs helix.
I hope it is not to late
My final entry.
Thanks for looking,
Carolyn

I very nice staircase in what is obviously a grand building. The mono gives the image an old fashioned look. I think full colour wouldn't have been so attractive. A really nice image.

The only nit I have is that it's a helix, not a spiral. 
It's a lovely photo in B+W!

I thought I saw it up in color for a moment... then it desaturated before my eyes! If you had a naked woman draped over this you would have this week's winner, for sure! ;-)

I also just read the title of your photo, "built without a nail". Wow! That's all joinery?! True carpentry is a lost art these days. What church is that? I'd like to see more of it.

Nice black and white. If you don’t know the story of the spiral staircase at the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, check this out - http://www.funtripslive.com/santa_fe/miracle_staircase/staircase.htm

It's beautiful, even if it's only a helix from this PoV. 
Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I would like to see this shot with a longer, faster lens, wide open, to get rid of the surrounding distractions.

Since this is a church I don't think that will go over so well...but thanks for the idea.
