The woman and the dog who were too far away for the iPhone photograph I wanted, part one: too far away

I turned on to Wards Road and started walking towards the hill when I saw this woman and her dog coming down, nearing the bottom. It would've been a really neat photo had I have had my "real" camera and at least a small telephoto lens, but I have carried no camera but my iPhone since I returned home almost three weeks ago. It was beautiful, the way the shiny wet hill rose up behind to cast her and the dog in silhouette. To the iPhone, they were tiny, indiscernible dots on a thin glowing thread of silver running down from the hill. I feared that by the time the distance between us closed enough to render she and the dog discernible, the perspective would have changed and she would no longer be a silhouette against the road, the picture would no longer exist. Still I had to try. I shot this at what I knew would be the last possible moment, and then she took a couple of more steps and and the effect was completely gone.
