who are they, and what do they want?


Take these three people. They are out for a walk at night. They are not carrying flashlights or baseball bats, so clearly they are not in the woods. There appear to be artistic designs on what looks like brick walls behind them. Is it a nightclub? A really long art gallery? One is smoking and one is biting her nails. The two images, combined, could mean that they've just come back from dinner, and the nails serve as a quasi-dessert, the cigarette a tabacco aperitif.

Then, you could consider that, if people are walking at night just having had dinner and are lacking baseball bats (for the moose and bears), they are most likely in a city environment. But which city...which one...could be Berlin or Montreal, say. But can we tell whether or not these people are frauleins or madames? Leather jacket, pockets on the front of one's pants, the glow of tail lights from an SUV...can't be sure, can't be sure...but then there are sleeves that are cuffed. So the answer is: Montreal.

(Note: if it were Paris, one of the people would have a banana hanging in a pocket of her blouse.)
