The story here is that two people are helplessly stuck at the top of wind turbine as it burns around them. They have no way to go down, except to jump. These two people, much like the Falling Man, have their fate in their hands. When I first saw this image, I was not sure what to think. I didn't know how to emotionally respond with this image. I couldn't help but think about if I was up there, what would I do. Would I choose to sit idly by as my world burns away with a slim chance of escape, or jump and seal my fate. I thought about the irony of this image, how this wind turbine was built to create electricity from a reliable clean source, catches fire and pollutes the air with the very smoke it is trying to prevent. It shows how invasive humans are, and when we try to fix what we have wronged, things like this happen. Proving to us that we shouldn't try and control nature, but, rather, accept our fate as not the masters of our domain.
Anyways, those were my two cents on the topic.
I really liked how you voiced your opinion in this post. I am sure a lot of people can relate to what you said. Overall a great post!
