I am a fan of the above picture for several reasons. The first is the use of man and nature and how they can co-exist. But I feel that the image can be interpreted as how the most beautiful parts of nature are often off limits. in the foreground you see barbs, signs and a fence but as soon as you pass that you see a beautiful mountain landscape. So even though that we might be focused on the limits in our life if you look past those there is always true beauty.
