It's interesting that the bricks on either side of the window are new while the bricks inside the window are rather old. This is a window into the past surrounded by modernization and growth. While seeming absurd on first glance, I find this image to be a metaphor for China and it echoes the title you gave this gallery.

Appropriate title, indeed.

A wonderful eye for the absurd! Well put Phil! This is one of those photos where the title gives more life to the photo (the photo is great by its self as well). It resonates with me as well right now - the sense of feeling a little boxed in....

Talk about overkill. You have a wonderful eye for the absurd, Tim.
