Powerful and frightening!! The long march of ClearChannel... I hope this isn't the fate for all of us radio listeners.

There is, for me, a double sense of horror and terror, of potential fates that await us all.

We are the captured ones,
Within our lost corners,
Like dead flies, among the buzz of life,
Our emptiness echoes in the corridors,
Of inner places sealed away from all eyes
Except our own.

Fascinating imagery. V

Nevertheless, I am not found of clear channel radio stations. Loss of jobs for humans. :(

I find this to be a most poignant image, Kal. Somehow the ad only heightens the sense of isolation I feel in the lone figure leaning against the window. Well seen as always.

I often find myself thinking exactly what Christine has expressed here about you, Kal. I'm sure this traveler isn't even aware of the huge head so near. If he were, I'm almost certain he might another place to rest.

Christine's comment is wonderful -- she is dead on, as usual. You are a master of this kind of juxtaposition, because you always manage to add an extra incongruity that intensifies and deepens meaning. In this case it is not only a person asleep on the floor in front of a massively large head, which creates a huge scale incongruity -- it is the bizarre nature of the advertisement itself. The mouth on that huge head is incongruously clamped shut, so as not to disturb the sleeping figure at left.

It must be interesting to travel with you - you see so often the incongruous relationship between juxtaposed situations or illustrations ;)
