I like it. (Maybe try black and white, with slightly lowered contrast??)

Bob_B, the grittiness (i.e., excess contrast) of the image reflects my view of the North Korean regime.  I recently watched the movie "The Prague Orgy" based on a Phillip Roth novel.  It shows the farcical side of a communist run society.  My image attempts to capture the craziness that results from what one famous social scientist called the "fatal conceit." 

Eric, thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the info. Initially, I failed to see any connection with North Korea although I love the very geometric photo.

Yes! I will have to watch the movie/read the book. Well done.
