 Took until the end of the week to see any comments on the title. I'm glad it resonated.

I was driving and listening to Dr. Hook's version of Marie Laveaux, when I looked to my left and saw this decrepit staircase leading to a weathered old door with wild roses blocking the way. Did I have any choice? Free will is an illusion. :-S

perfect for sepia, which makes those splendid generous roses lie about so casually, almost defiantly.

This is a very interesting perspective and fits the sepia challenge nicely. The middle dark spot seems a bit intrusive, but the vertical composition and detail in the sky/clouds is nice.
