Hurdles!

This photo was taken on Jan 17th 2009 right outside my house. While I clicked the photo, I just wanted to find a constrasting background to highlight the ice formation; but now my mind has worked out a little more symbolism for this photograph -

The path to progressive future and the biggest hurdle to that - the political fraternity, sharp as a knife, enough to kill people, but formed using simple water - if not for the right environment, it is just "nothing" - very similar to our governing fraternity - And the most important, lies down as the hurdle to development instead of facilitating.

Taken using a Quantaray 70-300mm telephoto lens mounted on my Nikon D50 body.
