Take for instance the markup being discussed for the

<picture alt="A giant stone face at The Bayon temple in Angkor Thom, Cambodia">

<!-- Default -->
<source src="small.jpg">

<!-- Alternative if media query matches -->

<!-- Alternative if media query matches -->
<source src="large.jpg" media="(min-width: 800px)">

<!-- Fallback -->
<img src="small.jpg" alt="A giant stone face at The Bayon temple in Angkor Thom, Cambodia">

How to Create Stunning Effects With 165 Media Queries or Less!

One bizarre trend emerging in this new RWD era is desktop-browsing web designers resizing their browsers to watch the break-points change the layout. The average user never sits at their desk repetitively shrinking and expanding the browser window like a mad scientist. Yup, we’re all strange.
