Pictures without words

Occasionally on this blog I will post a photograph without saying anything about it. I could try and bluff my way through this and claim that “the picture speaks for itself“, or something similar, but that would be – pardon my French – bullshit.

What it actually means is, usually, one of two things:

  1. I have writer’s block and can’t think of anything to say.
  2. I don’t have time to write anything.

Option 2 is the usual culprit. I’ve either been doing something that has kept me from the computer, or I’ve been doing something else on the computer (or PlayStation…) and the time has gotten away from me. Either way, the result is the same, a picture without words.

Today was going to be a similar thing, but then I wrote this.

So here’s a picture that has words, they’re just not connected to its contents whatsoever…
