@nyrath -- Hovering over the photo in a web-browser on my PC shows the mouse pointer turn into a magnifying glass with a '+' symbol and up pops the alt-text.
When I try to take a screenshot, the alt-text bubble goes away so I cannot "show" you how it looks on my end. Hopefully my description helps.
The main point being, I had serious West Side Story vibes too and this was taken the same year as the movie.

In the browser, I wish there were a way to copy the alt-text. Or is there and I just haven't figured it out?

@swordplay @nyrath -- No... It is a limitation of the graphics file formats as well.
This is why I don't believe it is beneficial to berate Mastodon users about alt-text and how it IS beneficial to do #alt4you and simply add it as a comment. HELP instead of COMPLAIN.
The comment on the post will also give it a notice from the algorithm which is used to populate the local and federated timelines.
In fact, from my experiments, adding an #alt4you comment is BETTER than giving it a boost.

It must act differently on my Android tablet. When I click the "Alt" button in the picture's lower left corner, that box dialog appears.
