In our occidental societies, sex is now exhibited everywhere leading to the loss of points of reference in terms of man-woman relationships...
Shot in the Gare de l'Est railway station in Paris.
Maybe it could illustrate the theme "decay" as a spiritual decay ? Waiting for your comments on this choice.
In the A story of decay photo essay.

this is really a great photo. such a statement of absurdity and meaninglessness. youth and old age. instant pleasure and eternal life. one comes fast, the other.....maybe not at all. it's no wonder Muslim martyrs are so happy to die. in their mind, they get the best of both worlds: sex and eternal pleasure. what a great picture you have with so much to say.

Richard Bruns said (14 Nov 2009):
good juxtaposition. The question is, which side is decay (or decadent)? I vote for the left. The lady at right is elegant in her person, and old doesn't necessary mean decayed.
