    Sometimes you just need a little lift.

    This handicap ramp is a modern afterthought without much thought to aesthetics. I like your composition with the depth of the ramp and the arches.

    I love how the eye is drawn into the path of what might be heaven.

    That's a thoughtful addition for wheelchairs and baby carriages.

    Your ramp to heaven/cathedral is better than a slippery slope.

    I really like the contrast of the brick wall to the arched area next to it.

    The decision to help people by installing this kind of ramp was a good one! Since we are in EU, we find them here too.
