This caption even out-does my previous favourite of yours, which was 'Shuttered, in monochrome', where I particularly admired your use of the comma.
Thank you! I do enjoy alliteration, when it works. And commas—ah commas!—are not treated with the respect they deserve these days. I was for years a typesetter and print designer; you may notice that I use ‘curly’ quotation marks, and things like en-dashes and em-dashes. So, words and ‘proper’ punctuation are important to me, and punctuation is easily entered with a Macintosh™ keyboard—no need to remember four numbers on the numeric keypad!Cream brick banality

Here's a couple to quench your thirst.Thank you! I do enjoy alliteration, when it works.
Using a Mac? To create an em-dash, type Shift-Option-Hyphen; if on another platform, oh well.FYI, the Sigma 24-35/f2 lens continues to favorably impress me with its performance. Also, when I was composing the bottom photo above, I ran out of image circle for the very first time since I started photographing with this lens. Fortunately, it was no big deal, because I simply moved the camera slightly closer to the scene and shifted the lens downward a bit to restore the corners, then took essentially the same photo. I really did expect to run into this issue more often, but I am very pleased that -- so far, at least -- I haven't.
As a former magazine editor, I do know the difference between a hyphen, en dash, and em dash.Using a Mac? To create an em-dash, type Shift-Option-Hyphen; if on another platform, oh well.
I wasn’t making any assumptions! As I wrote, “… oh well …”.As a former magazine editor, I do know the difference between a hyphen, en dash, and em dash.
But I'm working with a Windows box and it's just too much of a PITA to bother entering the ASCII code for the latter two.
Sorry!
