Thursday’s Special: Shadow

Are you ready to face your own shadow?

Today I’m asking you to post a photo (or several) of shadow(s). It may be taken during the day or at night, caused by sun or artificial light; or it can be metaphorical. Whatever you do make sure to link to  this post and to leave me a note in the comments section bellow. If there is a sufficient number of participating entries, I’ll make a poll again where you’ll be asked to vote for the best entry, but first let’s see your entries.  Have a happy Thursday!

  1. Mr Pigeon looks very proud of himself.
    I had a nice weekend away in Devon. There was even some sun giving pleasant shadows when walking the coastal path.

  7. This is a great shadow photo, Paula. It’s as if the pigeon has given the stones within the shadow some of his/her colours – a feathered pigeon and a pebble pigeon side by side. Magic!

  16. Welcome back Paula although I know you have been back for a week. Hope you had a great break. Your pidgeon shadow is a perfect shadow in that you can tell it is a pidgeon even if you only saw the shadow. I too love shadows and enjoy the menace, the benign and the friendly shadow.

    1. Thank you kindly, Irene. Yes, it’s been more than a week and it feels like a month already. There was no way to ease slowly into daily schedule. I often wonder what good is having a holiday when later you are supposed to do triple your workload. Still I am very happy and grateful that I could enjoy mountains again. I appreciate your visit and your response to this challenge. It will be very difficult to chose my favourite – maybe the cove cause it is very hot in Zagreb these days and I would love to be near water somewhere. Thank you again, Irene.

      1. Despite the extra work on your return I think Holidays are still good to have. Enjoy the hot weather as I can feel our summer coming which I guess means your winter is going to be around the corner also. I always enjoy your challenges – Thanks Paula.
