ladder

After yesterday's seasonal photocollage, back to the mundane - or at least to an image of frustration. I somehow don't think that work on our loft will resume tomorrow - not with yet more snow, or at least precipitation, of a wavering and uncertain amount due to arrive in the afternoon. The facts behind this image are the ladder leaning up against our snow-covered front porch, with some wooden structure - useful for getting plywood and insulation and the like into the loft - just above it. But I want to read something more complex into the steps that don't reach anywhere useful; into the presence of a rather futile and stumpy looking truncated wooden structure, and the rather dirty snow compacting in on its icy self - it seems to be inviting some kind of allegorical interpretation...
