The fate of a dream *

I am happy when I manage to get a picture which illustrates some phenomenon in society.
This picture illustrates the death of ideology. It is taken in a city square in one Western country ruled and shaped by social democracy dedicated to building of the blue collar paradize on Earth. This square glorifies the manual labour with a row of statues which represent different blue collar occupations. Today this is a favourite place of skateboarders and occasional office employees drinking coffee in a very different attire.

Thank you for nice comment. I believe that the meaning which I put in this image is more easily appreciated by those who lived through a part of postwar European political history.

A lot of thought has gone into this. It took a few reads of your commentary to understand this.
