Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve and from which he cannot escape
Obviously back to my trend of photographs that suggest the alienation of modern human beings, and the disenchantment that for many accompanies modernity. It has always struck me as vaguely amusing that although life - for Westerners at least - is immeasurably better today than ever before in human history (less people go hungry, gender inequality is relatively narrow, people live longer, possess more, are safer amongst many other indicators), so very many people do nothing but complain all the time.

Sure, it's not plunging into a coal miners pit for tuppence, but ya know, I'm a man of my times!
I wonder if that building makes cool echoes. Excellent shot!
But as long as you keep on taking these pics, you can complain all you want :-)
Babooshka, I did have to crick my neck right back to get it.
Boise Diva, there is such a thing as constructive complaining, provided you move past the whining part of it. Unfortunately, many don't and just sit on the sidelines having a moan!
M. Isabel Guerra, I do like the odd moan myself, but I try not to mistake it for constructive dialogue. Unfortunately, many people I meet tend to confuse the two concepts.
FF, of course I am complaining about complaining! I figure that this is okay when half the meetings I attend are consumed by people talking about people talking about people talking about doing stuff. [That wasn't a typo.] No 'stuff' ever seems to get done. Which the same people then complain about. Thus I muse on why they are alive, I guess...
And certainly no complaints about your fantastic photo!
