It was taken at a little park near Foz do Douro during sunset. A very colorful sunset. The sky colored orange, red, purple, and there were a number of condense lines visible, where just before some commercial aircraft must have flown over. A man was walking under an enormous tree, and their silhouettes create a fine contrast with the sunset hues.

The man on the picture was running forward and backward, thereby spreading his arms, and sometimes even screaming. Most probably he tried to mimic an airplane, complete with take-off and landing. A crazy man…
