I read it as an ironic comment on humanity's separation from nature which has brought us to the situation we are in now. The natural world is kept behind glass and represented outside by its simulacrum embossed on something we normally only use indoors - and on those few occasions when we need something like it out of doors we would use what nature provides, but which is now behind glass and a mere image. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
