Old Monk

This is the photograph of a moth's cocoon I took sometime back . The image is of the anterior head portion of the cocoon. I somehow find this very interesting because it resembles the face of a monk wearing his overcoat. The expression on his face is an expression of content. It looks as if he has had a fulfilling life and is ready for the transition from one state of life to another. Just like what happened in reality as this cocoon was shed and a moth emerged out of it. Its very intriguing to see an expression of fulfillment on the nature's creation at a stage where it has almost reached the end of its existence and at the same time is at the beginning of an other form of itself.
