   He's shirtless and wearing shorts; the girl in this photo has a t-shirt and   
   jeans.   
      
   Yes, I posted the photo because of the excellent view of the undisturbed beach   
   and the Gulf of Mexico.   
      
   > > Yes, there were several people there that day, you're confusing a poem   
   with a photograph.   
   >   
   > No... I'm just wondering why you chose that photograph to illustrate your   
   poem.   
      
   Mainly for the view of the beach and ocean.
