Tiny Worlds: Discovering Secrets in Abandoned Spaces

For years I’ve watching the slow disintegration of the door of an abandoned house on rue de la Bouteillerie. Once in a while I take a picture of it, or of some part of it.

Yesterday I took a few pictures. Here’s the first one:

You can eat that plant with the round leaves. It’s called Le Nombril-de-Vénus (Umbilicus rupestris), Venus’s belly button, in French, or Pennywort in English.

It wasn’t till I got home and took a look at the pictures, though, that I realized that some magic is taking place behind that door.

There’s a tiny world with a staircase inside!

I wonder if very small people use those stairs?

Next time I pass I guess I’ll have to lie down on my stomach to get a better look.
