Welcome to the first edition of Wordless Wednesday, Two-Kinds-of-People-style. Each week, I'll post a photo and ask you to comment on what Two Kinds of People ideas it inspires. (Start with "There are two kinds of people in the world: …", then finish that thought based on the photo.)

Full disclosure: the idea came from two of my favorite inspiration blogs:
