 Fallback images
-----------------------------------------
+---------------
 
 If you need to support fallback or default images at template level you can
 use::
     
     {% thumbnail object.image|default:'img/default_image.png' 50x50 %}
 
-It only works for images within the media storage location, usually where your
-{{ MEDIA_ROOT }} points to.
+Where the image string is relative to your default storage (usually the
+``MEDIA_ROOT`` setting).
