Hello Steemians

Welcome everyone to Round #23 of Let's make a collage! 🎨 🖌

For this week's challenge I have an atmospheric picture for you that can symbolise both vitality and decay - depending on the narrative you choose. An abandoned hut which is gradually taken over by the possessive power of nature. Is nature going to win or will someone bring the hut back in shape? Or will it even morph into an hybrid tree-hut being ?

What do you see in this photography that is not yet there? Let your creativity run wild and transform the image into whatever you want to see. Your imagination is the only limit!
