Well that was weird. My default icon (the crutches in the mirror one) disappeared over the weekend. The icon and the description was still there, but not the pic. Fortunately I did have a copy to hand to replace it, once I realised it wasn't just a DW hiccup as I initially assumed.
Well, I guess it was a DW hiccup, just not the one I thought it was.
The picture itself was taken in a hotel in Valle Gran Reyes, largely catering to the German tourist trade, on La Gomera in the Canaries. IIRC this was the trip where we'd done the Competent Crew yachting course in San Sebastian and we'd then moved to the opposite side of the island for a few days sightseeing. If memory serves I was lying on the bed feeling utterly knackered, noticed the reflection of the crutches in the mirror across from the bed, and thought "that's a good metaphor for how everyone thinks disabled people aren't quite of this earth". And it still is.
