Texture Tuesday - Stairs

The theme for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday challenge today is to use her new texture, And Then Some. The photo that I used is from the Worldwide Photo Walk on October 2. My dad and I walked with a group in a little town in Connecticut. This old railhouse is where many of us stopped for a good long while to shoot various things. I'm pretty sure everyone took a few photos of these stairs. I also fell and busted my knee, and it was kinda funny, but that's a story for another day.

I don't have a screenshot of my layers today, just a list of my steps. I started in LR3 and then switched over to pse8 to add the texture.
