"Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that musty old cheese that we are. We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable, and that we need not come to open war. We meet at the post office, and at the sociable, and about the fireside every night; we live thick and are in each other's way, and stumble over one another..."
Henry David Thoreau

The deadline to submit your work to Self Contained is October 1st, three weeks from today.

Each week between now and the deadline I will post a few images from the submission pool. Here is today's selection of photographs, from Eastern European submissions.
