Unless this is heavily cropped or you used a telephoto ... where were you standing?

  The detailless shadows make it go.  Since you gave the location, I think about mysteries having to do with Dealy Plaza.

Armando- thanks for the comment.

Gary- the image is cropped, but not too much.  I was actually pretty close to the scene.  I was standing on an elevated train track that runs over Elm Street.  I shot it with a Panny 14-45 zoom with the lens racked out all the way to 45mm.  The camera was an Olympus OM-D.  I spotted the location from the street and by the time I made my way up there, the young couple came along.  I was shooting almost directly into the sun light and I intentionally underexposed to get the deep shadows.

Keith- you are correct.  The location is Dealy Plaza.  Just around the top left corner from the people is the school book building where Oswald was perched in the sixth floor window for the assassination.  The building is now a museum.

The ordinary becomes extraordinary.
