The house is abandoned and boarded up. I found a hole broken through the boarding on an outbuilding – usually I am interested in who would have made the hole and what they were doing in the building, but on this occasion when I pulled the camera back out into the day light I was looking for the original inhabitants in the image.

This is what the camera recorded:
