Shadow Play – Picnic Tables

Viewing table shadows one way, they might look like giant marching creatures:

But from the other side, the shadows are harmless toy trucks:

    I see the legs, the tables in tandem, almost like a millipede marching. Wait, that' too many legs...but the concept is sound! The desert is beautiful, I am sure you await the cactus blooms soon!

    You've been busy taking photos; I see I've missed several posts.

    Funny how direction changes the definition of the shadow! I like the marching creatures. =D

    Your weekend reflection is quite stunning; beautiful colors, too!

    My husband and I simply ooohed and ahhhhed over your Monday morning fog captures. They are outstanding! (Are those the Santa Catalina mountains?)

    Great shadows, Diane... I like the 'toy trucks' better than the 'giant creatures'... ha ha

    Hugs,

    Even those picnic tables are very attractive with the nice background of the mountains. Yes you're right, they do look like toy trucks in the second picture, or the front of a choochoo train.

    So much to see down the horizon. Sitting there waiting the sun down to come seems so cool.

    Great shots!

    You have such a lovely imagination!

    I'm thinking the tables and benches here see a lot of sun and cast shadows most of the year,
