I thought that I would complete this task with a series of shots of plants growing all over buildings, like the example - like most completions. I even had a set of mysterious plant-covered buildings in mind to go and visit this weekend and attempt to photograph. But this morning, I woke up to find that I would be completing the task in a different way...

Dwellings are made to keep nature out, for the most part. We expect our houses and apartments to keep the air temperature regulated, and keep the weather out. Our apartment is currently failing at this: nature is disobeying right through the roof above the bathroom.

It's a rainy day, and when I woke up, I found that our bathroom ceiling's most recent "fix" had apparently not taken, in an unusual way. Water has leaked in the ceiling and flowed down the wall between the paint and the wall. This bathroom was clearly painted with some kind of waterproof paint, so there are bubbles of water on the wall. Some of them are pretty big. Some of the bubbles have slid downwards, leaving strange tracks that look like they might be cruziana.

My landlord is, obviously, distressed by this evidence of rebellious nature. But I'm just wondering if maybe we're meant to have our entire bathroom be a shower...
