This is an exceptionally boring picture to write about. You can of course be imaginative about anything, but seriously.

#25I can't find any restriction on the submission language, maybe that should be explicitly spelled out. 1000 words in German would carry a different amount of information from 1000 words in English or 1000 characters in Japanese.

#26I am partially worried of discovering that writing a 1000 words is actually much harder for me now than it was when I was 13.

#27I submitted this more 'nonfiction-y' entry:

It looks like it's only one entry per person, so I'm playing fair and not submitting this second entry, which encodes a compressed version of the image using a 128 word dictionary (ie each word encodes 7 bits).
The explanation + the dictionary + the encoded image result in 1000 words.
