Day 17
Photograph of a door lodged in place in a fence. Some text work with the image. Text on the middle of the image reads 'Trying to figure out where this door goes to or where it belongs home.' Text on the left reads 'It has a number on it so it was meant to be somewhere.' Text on the right reads 'Barely a door now though its falling apart and doesn't lead anywhere.'

Day 16
Photograph of a small plant growing up through a crack in the tarmac.

The last four 'Keep going' are in yellow and the final 'Keep going' is in capital letters and larger font.
