Spiral Down
Did you know that spiral staircases in castles always spiral in the same direction, all to do with making it hard for a marauding knight to draw his sword with his right hand!
Pictures taken in Carcassonne!

This photo challenge is educational as well as entertaining! 🙂
I don’t know why I didn’t quite take in your interesting fact when I first saw your post. Love it!
I read that interesting fact – which rang a bell for both of us – and was told that they’re actually not spirals, they’re helical
Interesting!
Great bit of info to go along with your perfect spiral photo. This could almost qualify for historical also? 😉 Cheers to you!
[…] is my ‘spiral‘ photograph for the weekly challenge hosted by Sandra and Cathy. Thanks for the inspiration ladies, and thank you for the one of a kind and made with love present […]
Didn’t know that either 🙂
Well, I never knew that about the knights and their swords! Love it 🙂
