    All the photos are lovely but the first in my favorite because of the perspective. I do love the palm trees. Your desert palms stand straighter than the ones here at the beach ... that lean toward (rather than away from) the ocean and prevailing winds.
    Hugs and blessings,

    The first one is my favorite,too. Moreover, I find it interesting that a shadow is (to my eye) the dominant feature.

    This is my first time here at Shadow Shots and I'm so enjoying looking at what everyone else has shared.
    The strong sunlight creates much deeper shadows than those I captured in the snow. Truly stunning.

    What lovely shadows. The southwest architecture and stucco are so different than the white churches on the town green here in New England. The palm makes an elegant impression on the sepia building, Jesus looks like the king he is with his brightness of being which is magnified by the shadow behind. All wonderful subjects, perfect for SSS!

    Beautiful shadow shots Diane and church architecture is simply gorgeous.

    I noticed that Palm trees in your place grows taller like our date palm trees here in UAE.

    A blessed day to you.

    Palms cast great shadows because of the nice leaf pattern it has all bundled up.
