Heavenly smoke?

I wonder if smoking should be allowed in this place that is full of important wood architectures.

Good incongruity, abstraction and human values, Shirley. The clouds as a metaphor for smoking, the allusion to the Temple of Heaven, which is abstracted in the image itself, and the pollution of a sacred place are all implied here. A social comment and allegory, all rolled up into one (pun intended.)
