The Staircase to Infinity..

..but not beyond, that's just silly. After all.. toy story is just FICTION. Much like The Avengers Infinity War is fiction.. but something that isn't fiction is this impossible staircase! Wait.. why are you throwing Avengers in with a random staircase? You may be asking ... weeeeellll I haven't seen the movie yet myself, but parts of it were filmed in this area and though i don't know if they filmed any of the fight scenes in here .. i am kind hoping they did.

Anyway, what makes this shot so weirdly impossible (at first glance) is that I took this picture from just below the top floor of the building .. which also happens to be the FOURTH floor.

Here let me show you the outside:

Look at that .. 4 floors... but the staircase goes on for so many more! and then at the bottom you can see there are even more steps going down! Its obviously a basement.. but its just a crazy surprise when you walk in there and you look over the railing.. what hiding down there? What lurks beneath the surface? Probably all the administrators and secretaries that do all the real work! You see, this is the City Chambers.. aka City Hall where the city council/govt is housed. The building amongst many others in Edinburgh were used during the filming of The new Avengers movie.. and lets face it .. politicians don't really work .. their staff do! ;)

I am very excited to see this film. I'm not really a fan and I haven't really followed the series so I would be horribly lost plot wise but I am excited to see the scenes they filmed in Edinburgh.. especially since my office is down the road from where they filmed and I ran into them so often .. though I never saw any of the actors .. though rumours suggested they were here.
