To get access to the staircase, you need to ask at the reception desk of Usher Hall. The lady was not surprised by my request. I was completly free for half an hour to take all the pictures I wanted. It is a really great and modern staircase which suits perfectly for a B&W. I only deplore the posters on both sides that have a bad impact on the perspective and the simplicity. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Usher Hall is a concert hall, situated on Lothian Road, in the west end of Edinburgh. It has hosted concerts and events since its construction in 1914 and can hold approximately 2,200 people in its recently restored auditorium. The construction of the hall was funded by Andrew Usher, a whisky distiller and blender, who donated £100,000. The hall was designed by Stockdale Harrison & Howard H Thomson of Leicester ; with a backlash against Victorian Gothic and a return to classical features owing much to the Beaux-Arts style. via 500px http://j.mp/1D4cNXc
