We were riding the empty streets, trying to chase the sun.
We felt nothing can stop us, like a closing scene from an action movie.
That's when little dots of shadow passed us, casting a new state of mind.
A group of birds was passing from above, reminding me to stay humble
They probably feel that nothing can stop them, but above them there are clouds
And above the clouds ... well, above them is the sun I'm trying to catch.
I stopped the chase, waiting for the birds to pass.
After all, whether I'm going to catch the sun or not, I better respect it.

This was taken during "Yom Kipur" (Day of Atonement) in Ramat Gan, Bialik street (Israel).
There is no driving in the streets during the holiday, so children with bikes take over the streets.

More about Yom Kipur from Wikipedia
