Hello everybody, my name Jonas and I am the photographer of this strange picture.

Many of you didn’t understand how it was possible to take the picture, others didn’t believe it wasn’t tricked.

HooPoo (who changes his name every day, but always has poo in it because (s)he’s always full of crap) even had a theory in which I would have used large spotlights to create the play of light. (S)he managed to hallucinated a powercord on the photograph.

But some of you actually used their brain and solved the mystery (partially). Actually the first five reations got close to the truth, but the 27th (anonymous) was the closest and best explained. He or she even used the old graphic technique called ascii-art to visualize.

You can find a drawing I made to explain the illusion on http://users.telenet.be/jonas.sphere/bits/hill.jpg
I think the mystery should be solved by this …

The flat part in the middle is where we see the shadow of the man's legs and sunlight strip. Finally, the angle of the sun casts the rest of the shadow of the man (who is also taking the picture) on the bottom of the hill. <br/><br/>sun<br/>...man<br/>---------<br/>.........\<br/>..........----<br/>..............\<br/>...............-------------<br/><br/><br/>If you had more slopes and flat parts, you could have the hill 'split' into many more pieces :) Here’s an easy way to see what’s going on…look at the graphic below…the part where there’s a slope is where we see a shadow on the hill.
