Everyday I wake up at 6:30am and head to the gym taking Blajat road through Messila. Today I was in the mood and woke up early at 5:30am. On my way to the gym there's a road diversion right after Beda'a traffic circle (MPW road development) diverting all cars in and out beach side parking lots.
As soon as I entered Pizza Hut's parking I noticed something near the beach. There was a guy holding his hands up in the sky. I parked and tried to concentrate. Not so odd at first sight but then I realized this guy is in a deep spiritual moment. He did not move a single muscle for over 10 minutes. Something I have never seen in public.
Strictly coincidence, I had my camera with me and I took some photos. I couldn't get close to him but my trusty SAL18200 lens did a great job...

AMAAAZING SHOT.
I am a morning person too but today I woke up with a very grumpy mood and I feel sleepy.
I hope that the guy is praying to God rather than wait for his prophecy to be summoned. :P
Nice pics, invading the man's privacy are we? :P
are you sure he's not a japanese who is worshiping the sun Goddess.. nay, i think he is just practicing Tai Chi..
I agree, I think it is Tai Chi, although I have never seen one pose maintained for ten minutes. Amazing shot, Mac - not easy, shooting into the sun like that. Wooo Hooooooooo! More photos!!!! Show us your students!
Why would you want your day to be longer?! *puzzled*
If you want, I will donate some of my hours to you see how you'd like it! :P
wow, thats nuts. kinda freaky too...
veryQ8ya:
That's more like it.
palo-girl:
True. Sunrise & dusk are the best times for everything.
hamza:
Glad you like the shot.

elijah:
Yes, we are. xD
drama div@:
Nope, he's praying. ;)
intlxpatr:
Soon, hopefully. ;)
kinano:
Uh, no thanks. I like my long days just fine. :P
ammaro:
Yep.
He probably had stars reverberating in his eyes after that ridiculous 10 minutes sun-staring session:P.
I remember seeing a strictly vegetarian lady having a similar obsession on House Swap a while back. Staring at the setting Sun for a mininum of an hour on a daily basis was part of her ludicrous routine. She believed it would grant with her infinite amounts of energy AND solve all the "problems" in the world!
Talk about absurd.
*her with
Lol.
His eyes were closed and the sun is on his side, not in front. ;)
That woman is crazy! :/
