An ordinary photo? Not quite

This looks like a very ordinary photo to be blown up to huge size and displayed as a central feature of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
What can you see? A dusty road, some houses in the distance, three dogs in the foreground.
However, the title makes all the difference. This is "The Road to Mvezo - Nelson Mandela's Birthplace".
The price tag was £18,000 - three prints were available for sale.

Well, it is what the Picture is about and in this case Nelson Mandela's birthplace, that makes a lot of difference.
The actual picture in this case is not so significant.
