Meanwhile, an advertisement for Cadburys Golden Key tempts our taste buds with chocolatey delights as we lean against a sturdy banister. In Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, Asia's largest Buddha statue stands tall and serene, while visitors hold onto the banister for support during their ascent. The First Class staircase on Titanic evokes both awe and tragedy as it showcases opulence and elegance. On Brighton Beach in East Sussex, England, UK, families stroll along the Palace pier hand-in-hand with children gripping tightly onto the wooden banister. Steps at the Vatican Museum in Rome lead us into a realm of artistry and spirituality as we trace our fingers along its smooth marble railing. Ethel Sands Descending the Stairs at Newington captures a moment frozen in time - a woman gracefully descending stairs while her hand gently rests upon an ornate banister. Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge spans across Bristol's Avon gorge like a feat of engineering prowess supported by iron-clad banisters. The East Gate to Citadel welcomes us into history's embrace as we pass through its ancient stone archway guided by weathered banisters. In London's Horse Guards and Old Admiralty building during springtime bloom, vibrant flowers line pathways adorned with polished brass railings.
