Conversations in achromatic tones - 4

There's not much I can say that this picture is not already saying.  I will just quote one of my favorite passages from Alain de Botton's 'Architecture of Happiness': 
'We owe it to the fields that our houses will not be the inferiors of the virgin land they have replaced.  We owe it to the worms and the trees that the buildings we cover them with will stand as promises of the highest and most intelligent kinds of happiness.'
