I'm trying to decide what the message is here - I've got it narrowed down to either, "Sexy swimmers are smart enough to use computers" or "People who use computers enjoy freedom of movement and relatively quick drying times."

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

A photo of the Porta Nigra, a massive Roman city gate in Trier. Constructed of sandstone blocks, featuring two large cylindrical towers with multiple arched windows and passageways. The weathered structure stands prominently in a modern urban setting, surrounded by buildings. Sunlight casts shadows on the stone facade, highlighting its intricate details and imposing presence.

The Porta Nigra in Trier is the best preserved Roman city gate North of the Alps. It was built around 170 AD and converted into a church in the Middle Ages.
The Porta Nigra was restored to its original state in 1804 at Napoleon's behest.

The image is a paper collage by the French artist Bill Noir.
Noir, born in 1981 and based in Strasbourg, France, is known for his analog collage work, which he often refers to as "chaosmos"—a term he uses to describe the blend of chaos and cosmos in his creative process.

The poster for the stage play The Girl with the Whooping Cough starring of Valeska Suratt.
Suratt's character passed the cough on to a number of men. The mayor and police commissioner got the Broadway production closed down.
