Good name for a band: Mis-aligned Bicycle Rack.
Joan Miro. He even does one with bicycles and I'm sure, if there had been such things around, he'd have painted the racks to put them in too (and they would definitely have been mis-aligned).

Ah, you've been here then!Yeah, but Ted is wandering in Santa Cruz, one of the California capitols of alternativeness (not to mention seacoast and Cali hills.)
Hmmm....
From 1970-95 I lived in the Bay Area (Berkeley, Oakland, SF, back to Berkeley) so I have some familiarity with alternativeness (and Santa Cruz.)Ah, you've been here then!
This'll be short and sweet as the boys are napping.
1st place - JillyG's barely red dead orchids. The edit is wonderful and to me looks like two origami birds, one arising from -, the other having crashed headfirst, into the snow. (She also gets props for her lovely teacup, which also seemed to have generated a whole new thread re Affinity.)

2nd place to rizole with "Life's a beach", with it's action and water filled perspective (some envy in that my phone is not water proof). Also love his R,W, & B ?taillight with the hint of a selfie.)

Well done Jilly, definitely a stand out image.
Hmmm....
Mis-aligned Bicycle Rack: Cixous' écriture féminine from the cyclic diaspora as reflected in the works of Miró
Diasporic bicycles then?I like this: pithy But I wanted diasporic - The adjective is more suggestive than the noun, esp if the image is going tocopypay tribute to Miro's dots & circles, and that funny bit that looks like a fluffy bicycle seat cover. Using the adjective also opens the door for adjective as noun: a trope which in turn adds that certain je ne sais quoi to the title/image, which in turn references jouissance -- and when you think about it how else am I going to work in Cixous? Do keep up, Ted
