This Week In Shadows

This week my daughter went to the Courthouse to take her driving permit test. (which she passed) While I was waiting in the small waiting area outside the testing room, I looked up and what did I see.....a beautiful shadow. So I had to grab my camera.




Of course by the time I got my camera out and focused on my subject, the sun went behind a cloud and my shadow began to fade. I managed to get a pretty good picture after waiting a moment or two.







I took this picture while walking back to the office from the bank. I had seen the shadow in the archway several times while making this walk, so this trip I took my camera along.

I hope you enjoy the photos and if you would like to see more Shadow Shots from all around the world head on over to Hey Harriet and see what others have posted this week.

  1. Lovely shadows! The window and shadow almost seem a 3-D view of the arch. The outside arch leaves a fine shadow, too. Lovely, all!

  4. The first shot is really fun, you could have saved it for Halloweenwith that monster peeking out of the darkness.

  7. Two arched shadows...love it! Doesn't that figure...just when you take a picture the sun goes a bit! It's almost like a kid...when you go to take their picture they turn away :)
    Enjoy your week!

  10. Haha! It's amazing how many times I've had the sun vanish behind a cloud by the time I've grabbed my camera. And of course the shadow vanishes right along with the sneaky sun. A cheeky pair they make! I'm glad you were still able to take your shot. Both are great! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
