appreciate the comments and the honours (voters and Georges).

the ladder was there in one of the two exposures, each made nearby. it was there because a storm had been coming and was taken down from a nearly completed gutter cleaning operation. photo post storm, hence that tiny bit of rainbow...

I like the way it changes when I click it open. The path seems like a bit of sky on the ground. And the trees in the sky. The enigmatic ladder. Very nice.

What I really like is the blending of images that on first impression I see as a grunge textured sky... but after sinking in for a bit, begins to reveal itself as its own image.

this is beautiful. the ladder suggests there might be somewhere we need to go, and up might not be where we think it is

Lovely painting feeling indeed. I do love this combination of muted tones and sharp shapes. Thanks for the trip.
