This picture brings to mind Sesame Street. For some reason. Something in Charlie’s expression, and oblivious little Chloe way up on the hill and the gigantic bleached-out bone in the foreground. And the color of the sky. And the clouds. And the black angular shadows on the ground. It’s either Sesame Street or a David Lynch movie. Can you give a name to a picture like that? I can’t, I have to write a paragraph, but I KNOW YOU CAN.
Leave your title, caption, or thought-bubble-commentary in the comment section of this post and you’ll be in the running to WIN! Hurrah! This weeks prize will be one Charlie Calendar (because I just found a box of them I didn’t know I had! Get yours here, on super sale!) and a signed 5×7 print of this image (squeee!) OK, get to naming!!

He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it….Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker’s guide). This picture makes that line so relevant.
The ethereal shadow also brings to mind “”The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”
Another thing the caption reminded me of is Dune…a David Lynch classic.
Dune of the Coyote might be a good title.

June 7th, 2010 at 11:24 am
When I first saw the picture, and before I read your blurb, I immediately thought of Sesame Street too, but my thought was of the little skit teaching about ‘near and far’ so I had a little muppet-type voice yelling that in my head. Then I read what you wrote and automatically giggled!
June 7th, 2010 at 11:27 am
OMG!!! I found the clip on youtube! It’s actually a song about opposites, but the ‘near far’ part is at around 40 seconds in.
