I've pondered what title to use for this shot of the Erechtheion porch atop the Acropolis and all I could ever come up with is the one shown. For some reason which I won't try to remember, these women (the Caryatids) are holding up the canopy with their heads. Quite the engineering feat, actually, to render such a detailed and beautiful yet structurally sound support.
Thinking of using one's head brings to mind the old "Ready-Aim-Fire" sequence. It seems a lack of thought often leads to "Fire-Ready-Aim" or at best "Ready-Fire-Aim". On the other hand, over-thinking or analysis-paralysis ends up being "Ready-Aim-Aim-Aim..." Some good extremes to avoid, I think.
