Caption Me: Nine hour photo contest



2017-09-21 - ????? - Photo ?????.
Thought this was an unusual picture, and created an impromptu, contest, maybe never to be repeated, for night owls, insomniacs, people of the night, and up-by-nooners, and all those like the competition: Caption this photo. Do it as a factual cutline. (Tell us what the photo subject is, where it is, etc., etc., etc.) Make it witty. Make it poetic. Make it a moral. Give it an unusual twist. Any way you like, but have it complete by 6amCT/7amET, Friday, September 22, 2017 (one day before the next end-of-the-world) time). Send responses using the comments button with this picture. - CM
