The Guardian reports that the photographer was holidaying with his family when two shadows became a plaything for his young son Gellért Gombai, his wife and two children spend much of the year at their home in Budapest, Hungary, but most of their summers in Alsóörs.

“It’s a small holiday village on Lake Balaton, the largest in central Europe, so it’s often referred to as the Hungarian sea,” Gombai, a freelance photographer, says.

This lifestyle story centres on Hungary. Names and organisations mentioned in the coverage include Gellért Gombai, I’m and Budapest.
