Where there is light, there is darkness

Description

Hey all!
Goodness, it's been long! Oh Noes! 

But what's happening in the image?
It has two ideas actually.
    1. Everything we do, think, say has two sides to it. There's the good side (light) that optimists tend to make a note of and then there's the darker side, the one pessimists see. In "where there is light, there is darkness" I wanted to get people, who are one of these extreme thinkers, to acknowledge that there is another side to things too.
    2. It does have an environmental meaning in it as well. See the wind chimes the girl is following? They symbolize beautiful things, perhaps vanity, perhaps just man-made objects and economy. The girl is "blinded" by these things, following them with good-will, not realizing what kind of impact they could have on the environment. Economy is about selling and buying more and more, about business. Look around you though. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for our environment. Why do we need to defile it?
