Still as a statue.

The photo of the day was taken yesterday morning. The foreshortened shadow struck me as being of interest so I stopped and took this. It's even stretched out more in real life because the shadow starts at my feet while the camera was at my waist. But the idea is there. Use your imagination to stretch it out.
On my walk this morning I passed a black cat I frequently see looking out from atop a low railing and watching the world go by. Today he was sitting facing away from the street with his face about 3 inches from the side of the house. Still as a statue. I wonder what is going on in his head relative to that shadow. Does he think it's another species? Does he recognise it as his shadow? Or was it something in solely his mind? He certainly was deep in thought about something. Does he recognise the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in his thoughts?
Meditating cats are proof that we're all this flight together.
