Weird scenes from the top floor (bottom level) of a dying empire.

Hi Matti,
Great picture, Interested but don't understand your caption.

Interested but don't understand your caption.

It's tough to explain it without writing an essay which would get political.

Sobered up enough for a second attempt...
I am at the bottom level of an outdated corporate empire which does not realize that it is failing. That picture is from the top floor of an industrial facility which will fail due to mismanagement, but continues to stagger on. The unnamed corporate entity is highly symbolic of a nation state which seems to be on the same path. The bottom rung will suffer long before the top notices anything.
I can provide an alternate title:

Went for a walk this weekend, up Braeriach in the Cairngorms via the Sron Na Lairige route. An absolutely outstanding couple of days.

Climbed into the clouds for about 2-3 hours...
