Caterpillar, or Big Brother Watching You

See, I pass by this corner four times every day! Twice in the morning, and twice around dinner time. And I never saw a picture like this. But two weeks ago, the stars in the sky converged and took a proper, unique position, and same with me, and - not the least - same with the sun. My luck smiled at me and kissed me. Passing this corner I did not see the camera - but the first thing I saw was this elongated, luxurious, splendid caterpillar shadow. And I was borrowing a telephoto lens with me that was perfect to capture this critter.

And I was able to focus on it in all its glory.
This is my entry to the round 140 of #shadowhunters contest.

Я хожу мимо этого угла четыре раза на дню, но обычно не вижу ничего интересного (даже видеокамеры не вижу). Но. Две недели назад звезды на небе сошлись и заняли единственно правильное положение, а равно и я сам, и не в последнюю очередь солнце -- моя удача улыбнулась мне. На сей раз, проходя мимо я увидел не камеру: первое что я увидел была огромная, роскошная тень гусеницы. И к счастью, я нес с собой телеобъектив, который прекрасно подошел и смог сфотографировать это создание во всем его великолепии.


Same photo rotated into correct position. Actually, it was like this. But I consider, album format gives it much more fun!
