We see too few verticals and this is an excellent example. The touch of spring, green leaves at the bottom, and lovely sky points to the future, while the bare branches and monument point back in time. So for me, this is an image about transition, about the natural complexity of life versus architectural order of simple lines and shapes. One caveat: the merger of the monument top and tree branch is a little disconcerting. A small change of position would have maybe improved the composition. Still, a thinker, a philosophical image unique in contrast to the usual tourist shots.
