On this photograph we see how architecture represents the changes that come with time. The lower building is the decadent past with all the little details of decoration. As time goes by, the details become less important as well as the spiritual part of a human being. Finally we come to the present that extends to the unforseeable future - pure functionality and total lack of moral.

Sounds good? Well, it was even better when I originally got it in an e-mail from my friend Sergei. No wonder he is a Doctor of Astronomy!
As for me, I didn't really see any of that when I was taking the picture.
