Tanja and pelagicbunny: thanks

Ana: It's not beautiful--it's ugly, but the theme calls for beautiful photos of undeniably ugly things.

Zorilla: last week's theme was phones. Are you referring to urban decay?

JIMJIM: thanks.

It's a well done photo. It's crisp, clear and well framed. But that doesn't bring the 'beautiful' concept into the content of the photo.

My comment looked mean when I saw it in print. Sorry. I was actually laughing when I wrote it.

There! This has had an effect on all of you. It even made Puppatina laugh; what's more beautiful than that?

And, if I may add, the photo strongly exaggerates the severity of the disgustingness. It actually doesn't look this bad. The good news is that I negotiated a new system with my roommate where we're going to take turns cleaning it, one each month. That way I don't have to always be the one responsible, and can stop performing social experiments on how dirty it would have to get before he crumbles, deciding to clean it.
