A mystery (solved)

When I took this, there was no-one around. When I downloaded it later I saw the mural of the girl jogger (there are many such murals on hoardings in Madrid). But now on uploading to ip, I'm not so sure. It still looks like a mural, the clothes don't seem to be typical Madrid jogging attire
... and yet ... and yet ...
her feet seem to be just far enough away from the hoardings to make me think she might be real after all!!
However, she must be far too close to the fence, is heading straight for the small tree and her 'shadow' bears no relation to the (poor) source of light which looks painted on to me ...
I'm tending towards 'mural' but the jury's still out!
What do you think?
OK!!! ... ... ... ANSWER!
I SPENT ONE NIGHT BACK HOME AND SO HAD TO CHECK IT OUT! THERE IS A LOAD OF GRAFITTI HERE - FAR MORE THAN A WEEK AGO WHEN I TOOK THE SHOT ... BUT THERE IS NO MURAL OF THE GIRL.
SHE WAS REAL!!!
How I didn't see her when I took the shot, I'll never know!!!!!
:o)))))))))))))))))

Wow, I see what you mean, Andy. I've looked at the picture, on full screen and against black and I'm sort of thinking it might actually be someone running, but there again, if it's a mural - then it's a pretty good one.

I'm changing my mind again! I think it would be too difficult to paint a mural on the corrugated metal!

I'm leaning toward her ebing real, the problem being that you seem not to have heard her. A very interesting question, though.

All the best for the weekend.

Andy Rodker replied to John FitzGerald:

Me too, John. Maybe I was concentrating so much on the structures above and the light that I didn't notice her. But she is awfully close to the fence!

I like the light and the warm colours Andy................and I'm tending towards the jogger being real, but the image is a bit to dark to be certain (on my screen at least).
