ultima necat by endika

This image shocked me when I was wandering downtown. It brought me in mind the ancient Roman phrase that says: "all (the hours) hurt, the last one kills".

Thank you for your comments, Brenda and Stefan. Nice to read you share with me this feeling of need to be a little more authentic when you see images like this. Great your appreciation that we are always balancing between earth and air, Brenda. endika

The ultimate destiny for us all is the same state as this dessicated bird - we are future husks from which breath must inevitably escape. This photo is a stark reminder of mortality. It's worth nothing that the bird's position is downward - no winged ascension here! Juxtaposed with the impenetrable wall, and caught on an equally impenetrable yet more fragile wire barrier, it suggests our human position - balanced between earth and air. The composition is superb. Unsettling, in an Alfred Hitchcock sort of way, and very well done. Brenda

Death is the other side of the coin of life, therefore unavoidable and inevitable. Sometimes I think the human tragedy is that we spend so much time and effort in a state of craving for what we don't have and maybe never can have - material stuff, perpetual happiness, events to unfold and people to behave as we wish, etc. rather than experience life as it really is, complete with warts. A very moving image, Endika.

Oh, I'm sorry! I realise that you think that this poor dove is dead trying to get free from the chickenwire. The reality is that this photo is taken from BELOW, the structure on the left is a very old roof, and the chickenwire structure is just to avoid any part of the roof falls and hurts somebody. So, the dove just died (sickness, hungry, old; a natural cause in anyway) and simply fell above the wire. endika

Awww Endika, it is too bad you didn't come across him before he died, I know you would have cut that wire to release him if you had. I wish nothing had to die in our world. :o(

It took me awhile to try to comment on this image. I guess Brent shook me out of the sadness I felt seeing this poor thing stuck on that chickenwire. Oh how it must have suffered unable to get free and flailing, flapping, crying and to no avail. The passage of time for this poor creature must have been sheer torment. Sad and very moving capture.

Yes. Sometimes I have the feeling that we are crossing through the life in an hallucination. So many people plays juggler around us to distract our attention! When I see an image like this, I remember who I am. Somewhat about real things maybe, a feeling to be really in contact with the ground. I can hear somebody that tells me: "you know, it's the old game of the life, simple, terrible and magnificent; forget all these insignificant things and enjoy it fully". Nice feeling. endika

Even our dead no longer have meaning, an inconvenient mess. Old cow meat throw it out. 5000 chickens in a barn with a conveyor belt for food and another for disposing of the poop. Old people - put them in a box with medicines to deaden their pain and no one to listen to their stories. Somehow this tells me a story of how we have lost the knowlege of sacred life (Reminds me of the dreams of Dicken's Scrooge). brent
