It's amazing how what might be a common sight in one country, can be sooo much art in another. This picture is so interesting - wow. That ladder surely has stories to tell! It is oft used, according to the worn holes where it joins the building. This is a wonderful shot.. you really did an excellent job taking it. Nice warm tones, interesting perspective, the shot is framed nicely too; you kept it simple and avoided trying to get too much in! It really tells a story - well, to a canuck anyway :-)
