Attic

Attic, originally uploaded by BioStasis.

We managed to find our way around the vine- & bush-covered house to the broken back door. Upon our entry we noticed that part of the ceiling & most of the main floor were in the process of slowly collapsing. We got up the nerve to explore the house. After about 10 minutes & 10 meters we found stairs leading to what looked to be an attic. We cautiously made our way up one stair at a time & peeked over the top of the ceiling.

We found this beautiful, decaying crawlspace. Remnants of roofing lay in heaps. In the empty room lay a lonely chair with no one to sit on it & a pot that had seen many meals. Beams of sunlight filtered through the roof boards & lit the attic with a beautifully warm aura.
