Great title for an unusual piece...a beautiful strong monotone! The T. S. Eliot quote is thought-provoking.

UUUUF! , it is of an impressive hardness. A black and white one that emphasizes all the texture.

I disagree with Eliot. Totally. No use to be schizo to be effective (whatever the job). But of course, it's again a great image. Perfectly illustrating this quote.

Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
Love the image and a very suitable quote. I can agree with the first part of it, though the second could be argued. Drained yes, extinction more likely not. Though I think that this can`t be generalized.

Great title and you found an excellent photo to go with it. I agree with it 100%. I myself have sacrificed thousands on camera gears & 1-hour photo lab fees, sigh.
