Probably <div>img src="" alt="" /></div> is better, but you're basically
right.

If it was reasonable to put <img> into a <p>, you'd probably already
have done it. If you want something that's more "anonymous" (for a
free-floating image not connected with any text), then use a <div>.
You might also wish to put a class on all these img-container <div>s,
just so you can easily control their CSS properties.
