Where beauty is, then there is ugliness;
where right is, also there is wrong.
Knowledge and ignorance are interdependent;
delusion and enlightenment condition each other.
Since olden times it has been so.

Unique mono subject and an interesting quote to ponder.
A blessed weekend to you.
Beautiful monochrome shot.
Beautiful.
A very handsome walkingstick, perfect for monochrome. Great shot.
I am stupid, so you look clever.
such a lovely shot of that stick guy
mine is here
Nice shot!
Great image..he looks like he’s praying..ha
The text has a very relativistic approach, and is of course right in this context. As it is for the photo.
And this is beautiful uglyness
Well captured
Beautiful capture!
nice shot of a unique creature. Love your quote too.
Great capture, and I like the quote too.
Praying Mantis caught in its act aye! :p
A picture usually speaks a thousand words. But it is even more complete with a matching quote.
Lovely photo. The poem reminds me of Kahlil Gibran’s the Prophet On Joy and Sorrow:
“Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?”
I love the quote. Thanks
Unfortunately we need to know ignorance to recognize wisdom; we need to know darkness to recognize light. I wish the world would be perfect as God imagined it!
beautiful, both shot and caption
