Last August my partner and I did one of the most incredible backpacking trips back to back, hiking more than 130km in 6 days (two of which were rest days) through the #CanadianRockies
This frame was from on our rest days when we did a small hike to a nearby meadow to enjoy the panoramic views of the #Mountains

A great thing to do for alt text is to simply describe what’s in the image. It doesn’t have to be Pulitzer Prize winning prose. Something as simple as “a cute black kitten sitting in a tiny bandage box,” or “a middle-aged man with graying brown hair looks directly into the camera as someone pours beer over his head.”
What isn’t as helpful is when one simply repeats the text of the toot to which the image is attached (unless the toot itself is descriptive text) or oversimplified descriptions like “a cat” or “a man and beer.” Or when someone posts a comic in which two cute foxes have dialog about sadness and hope, but then for alt text writes something like “a comic about a fox being sad” without describing the foxes and their actions or repeating the dialogue.
Descriptive alt text is awesome because it lets everyone in on the joke or the beauty or the silliness or the cuteness. Access is sexy, friends.
"Oh, you're really cute, aren't you..."

"Oh my GOD"
The giant red SUV really took me out from the movie being set in England. Having been on country side roads here that thing wouldn’t fit anywhere. The neon sign on the police station was a wild choice too.
Please don’t take this the wrong way because that's a rectal thermometer.

I’m just back from a trip to Germany to visit one of my closest friends, Daniel, who’s been held in solitary confinement 23h a day for the past ten months in a 2 × 5m cell.
They get one hour of visitation per month.
