Puli Portrait in Haifa Courtyard Late Spring

A Puli stands at eye level beside a weathered beige courtyard wall in Haifa, its dense corded coat forming distinct rope-like textures that catch the bright daylight. The dog's dark, almond-shaped eyes and alert triangular ears frame a muzzle with precise breed definition. In the foreground, a concrete ledge runs low, showing cracks filled with dust and small pebbles, while a faded blue cafe chair sits pushed askew to the left, adding a touch of lived-in disorder. Late spring light floods the scene, highlighting the silver tips on the black cords and casting soft shadows against the plain stucco. The 16mm lens shows the full breadth of the dog's stance against the urban backdrop, showing the contrast between the animal's intricate fur and the smooth, unadorned wall. A few dried leaves rest near the chair legs, at the base of the image in a specific moment of the season.
