Shall I compare thee
Forsooth, to a winter's day?
Gray - cold - unyielding

Immediately before I can even begin to think independently what should be conveyed to me with this photo, I feel kicked by the photographer with the #title in the intended direction - motto: "Give your works #titles which let the audience recognize that you are intellectually far above them!" So does it want to tell me: "That's where we have to go back to, so that finally everything becomes #primal again, #simple but #joyless; the exact opposite direction of all forward development" ... ?
