Well, I can't work out how to upload an image so I'm going to suggest that the image for Year Inside, Hour Outside be the third result you get when you type DMV into goggle images and just the word 'yep' as a caption.

That's not going to work. Google tailors its results to the user, so not everyone will get the same results page, or the same images in the same order.

This is what I get:

some caption text

It's amusing, but not a good illustration of the trope, which is that time passes at different rates inside the area and outside of it.

That's the one I mean! I couldn't even link to it. I think it demonstrates the trope well, but if not how about a school?

School isn't the trope either. It's not about subjective time (feeling like you've been somewhere a long time because it's unpleasant or boring.) It's about when time actually moves faster inside the area than it does outside, so if you spend a year inside you come out and find that it's actually only been a few minutes or hours — you weren't gone long enough to be missed.

I guess. I mean, I was trying to avoid being really obvious and using a Narnia image, but I guess it will have to be something like that then.

No, Narnia isn't either. Narnia is Narnia Time, another subtrope where the time differential exists, but isn't consistent from one visit to the next.

However the image that's currently on Narnia Time is (aside from the mention of Narnia) an good illustration of Year Inside, Hour Outside. We might want to switch that one over and look for a new one for Narnia Time.

I don't understand how the picture in Narnia Time matches either trope?

Time passes more slowly in Narnia, so by putting his computer in there, he ran analyses of two huge databases of information (which would take years — decades or centuries even — for one computer) overnight our time.

It would be cool if the caption gave (a shortened version of) that explanation.

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
