Well if it's lost - perhaps it was never there. Or perhaps I used the
wrong word.

My mac dictionary - irony: ? a state of affairs or an event that seems
deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a
result.

For me - the image presents such a state of affairs. Subjective. I'm
sure. If I have to use words to explain the irony I see - then the photo
fails as visual irony.

Thanks for looking,

regards, George
