This photo is real and has not been added to or take away from in PhotoShop.
I looked down the street saw the clothes and the colors and just took the picture!
The shot even confuses me, and I was there :-)
The picture was taken in Zikhron Ya’akov (Jacob’s Memorial) which as of 2008 had a population of less than 20,000.
The town is located at the southern end of the Carmel mountain range overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, near the coastal highway (Highway 2), and is 35 kilometers (22 mi) south of Haifa.
Zikhron, as it’s commonly referred to, was founded in December 1882 by around 100 Jewish pioneers from Romania, but the difficulty of working the rocky soil and an outbreak of malaria led many of the settlers to leave before the end of the first year.
In 1883, Baron Edmond James de Rothschild became the patron of the settlement and the town is name in memory of his father, James (Ya’akov) Mayer de Rothschild.

I was very happy to add the photo since I find it very interesting.
It wasn’t tricked in Photoshop and the white sign and the apartment block next to it give the image a very strange feel.
And that is a real gas tower behind the tree!
You’re group has some very nice pictures too and I’m glad to now be a member.
Great image, colorful clothes.
