Built, Built, Built, before

there is no time to hang about.

I like how the wires have been snaked out of the bent EMT conduit.

Very well done, did you take this one in Holland? Very interesting, the mysterious man in the background. Rather symbolic….XXX

I love this. There is an ominous quality in the image expressing the danger in the human drive to reshape our environment.

“… no time to hang about”

This is one of the basic problems our civilisation will have to deal with if it wants to survive… the future will come about, whatever we do. The question is how do we liberate ourselves from this urge to build, and build, and build, and use all of the resources within our grasp.

The image says it all, if we look at it carefully. Well seen and taken.
