It is an old cliche that "a picture is worth a thousand words." I long have thought that missed the mark. The idea is not originally mine at all, but what works better is the notion that "a picture and a few well-chosen words is worth a thousand words, or more."
And so, we get to Tim's photo, which is a perfect example of the picture-plus-words synergism.
We look at the odd title, and scan the photo with our eyes, and quickly see the point, and smile.
A technically well-executed but otherwise rather ho-hum picture turned into something quite special by a few well-chosen words to caption it: that's what we have here.
Great job!

P.S.:
For those interested in such things I suggest reading an old (1952) book titled, Words and Pictures, by Wilson Hicks. Hicks was the executive editor of Life magazine during an era in which Life virtually wrote the book on how photojournalism is done.
