Taken from a Spanish newspaper. It literally says:
Held onto a pole to avoid being blown away.
Ike lashes against Galveston
Under this title, and seeing this pic, we expect the worst. We are moved to believe that this guy is holding onto a lamppost (or whatever) for dear life…
Then, if you start analyzing the pic, you see the guy is “playing flag”… How do I know? It’s simple:
1. The water at his feet is not enraged, and it does not follow the direction of his body. In fact it is actually taking a perpendicular line to the flag boy. :)
2. His top arm, the way it is curled around the pole, the way that index finger is pointing to the ground…
3. That bottom arm, bent into the stomach to support his body weight…
And then a few more details Spanish visitors have pointed out:
1. The calm trees in the background
2. His dry T-shirt, his unruly hair…
3. Who is steady enough to take a perfect pic???
We have been taken, as simple as that.
