Description Didn't intend to add a second image to create a series, but figured recent life events I've encountered could be released through this one...

That ever lasting reach to get to the top, to gain self understanding. Never can we reach it, because there is no ceiling to life except what you set for yourself. Only the inevitable fall back to the ground. Some could say, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. This is true, but only if you build straight up without adding more support as you grow. Like friends, family, anyone you come across could be a support that keeps you up. Knowing when to keep these supports is important, and knowing when to replace them when they get weak is just as important.

Basically, what I mean by this is as you grow; don't expect to do it alone. Treat those around you with respect that deserve it and embrace kindness. Cheesy? Ya, but this would be an easier place if everyone lived with the willingness to help each other. Yet we don't, which is why we have to replace weak supports. Those who fail to follow through and hold their weight.

Enough with this metaphor. Enjoy. I tried for a rustic 1920's feel. Very cold, industrial, and depressing. Ya this is a mess of a thought I typed out. Going to have to sleep on it and refresh it. I <3 Advance Critique!!

I like the photo!! Looks almost like a picture from an old newspaper. I like the support beams on the cranes!! Kind of plays with my eye.

As far as feeling 1920's... well, i guess the picture doesn't feel.. "aged" if you get what i mean.. But i really like it nonetheless. I especially like your description ; **admires** What you say is always so true! ^_^;;

Well, wasn't going for the exact look that it was taken in the 20's, just very lack luster and cold. Your right though, dunno exactly how to make it look rustic really, just took a shot at it. The discription is a bit of a mess but yeah. I can get deep! Sometimes I can't find my way out though. Ah well. Thankies!!!
