I like climbing church tower stairs and seeing the wear on the stone steps. How many thousands went this way before?

Once, years ago, someone stepped back from that green door gleaming with fresh paint and was pleased and proud. Once those glass panes were a delight to the owner.
Your photos are lovely. Thanks.
