This somewhat surrealistic picture was taken yesterday afternoon when I was walking the dog. There's an area that is used as a parking lot for the high school and I often walk there before starting loops around the school's drop-off/pick-up area. The drainage is natural (in other words, there is none) so after heavy rain such as we had during the first half of the week, small lakes are formed that eventually evaporate and disappear.
From a distance, I could see someone crouching down by this lake and pointing their phone at the water, presumably taking pictures. I don't think that there would be any tadpoles so there didn't seem to be any attraction, but everyone is free to take whatever pictures they want. I did notice, however, that my shadow was cast on this person - the sun was behind me - so I tried to move in such a fashion as to move the shadow and so not effect the pictures.
About ten minutes later, when the dog and I had completed one circuit, a car hooted me: there was a woman inside with a young child. She told me that she had been taking pictures and one of them had accidentally framed me. I gave her my telephone number and she sent me the picture. It has exquisite composition, although I think that there's too much sky (maybe I'll crop this later).
I showed the picture to my wife when I came home. At first she refused to believe that it was me, but when I magnified it sufficiently to show my headphones and also see the dog better, she accepted my story and was so enthusiastic about it that she sent it to one of the kibbutz mailing lists and even uploaded it to her Facebook page. She received many "likes".
So thank you Meital Feine (that's how she spells her name) for that picture.
