Afternoon Sun and Shadows


As I opened the blinds in the late afternoon, line shadows appeared on the cardboard sculpture and on the wall.

  8. So cool how the shadows fall upon the sculpture and the shadow of the sculpture is cast on the wall. A really interesting shot!

  9. Very intricate and unusual the way the shadows fall in this photo -am glad that you took it. That could be an abstract painting, right there!

  10. Hi Diane, I happened by your blog. I've enjoyed your posts. The streaks of sun on the wall remind me of growing up in the Mojave Desert. Now I'm living up by Seattle, so at this time of year we area bit sun deprived. Thanks.--Richard

  21. Shadows help us to recognize the light, don't you think? And light in turn defines the shadows. Aren't we so blessed to have both as teachers?!
