And fucking brilliant with it.

The moneychangers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply values more noble than mere monetary profit.

Thank you. I hadn't made the connection but the parallels are now screamingly obvious. Nutshell: It needn't have been like this.

David Pratt, foreign editor on the (Glasgow) Herald has just posted this.

He hasn't credited the image but it could be Rory Peck.

It feels gauche for me to "like" posts in this thread as they capture moments of great tragedy or gallows humour so I will just write here that I appreciate all of these photos very much.
