Bench shadows

Out for a walk on Wednesday I spotted this elegant shadow in a town park.

Porch Railing

Porch rails and shadows

I hope you like this as much as I do, the light and shadows on the left in contrast to the light and shadows on the right. And I also like the repeated shapes and angles.

Sunroom

Jungle shadow?

Sunshine is much appreciated this time of year in Ontario. The shadow on the wall and basket are created by a gangly succulent plant...so it is kind of exotic, right?

Daylight Lamp Shadows

 Unusual, right?

Is it just my imagination or is this lamp flexing it's muscles?

More common

Not sure why this lamp has a chain. Maybe someone is stealing lightbulbs??

Winter Shadows

Whitby Harbour

Not many people were out on the pier even though the sun was shining. It was a pretty day but I suspect most people were out Christmas shopping or wrapping presents.

Rust and Shadows

 Rusty old frame and shadows behind a strip mall

Not very Christmasy but what can I say? Suddenly the weather has turned overcast and not great for shadows. We can always hope the weather improves for next week's shadow shot.

Church Steps

 Shadows that remind me of Roman numerals - sort of

I  liked the shadows on the left side of the steps and then noticed...

What's that shadowy arrow on the cement pointing to?

points (arrows?) on the right side of each step perhaps suggesting that viewers climb the stairs. (No, I didn't. The church was closed.)

Gazebo Shadows

 Shadows underneath roof of gazebo

I like these sun and shadow shapes, and I hope you do too. Maybe you are thinking these shadows are a tad spooky but the  the area below these shadows was open and bright.

Dilapidated Cottage

 Shadows on deserted cottage

They're rare but DO exist: dilapidated cottages  a block or two south of Lake Simcoe. Soon it will be bought up, hauled away and replaced by a mega home, and the new home fondly called a "cottage" by the owners (a castle by the rest of us).

Chain Links

 Tongue on vintage baggage cart

These photos were taken at the Parry Sound train station I posted about HERE.

I liked the shadow patterns created by the chain-link fence.

Wrought Iron

 Fancy wrought iron

The shadow is so dark and distinct here that it's hard to see where the wrought iron ends and the shadow begins. Can you see the shadow to the right of the balcony?

Stained Glass

Shadows on stained glass

Hmmm. I concentrated too much on the shadows and didn't get very much of the red leaves that were casting the shadow!

Shadows on Pumpkins

 Medium-sized pumpkin hanging from apple tree

A local farm and orchard has decorated apple trees with pumpkins and other gourds for the second year in a row (maybe more years than that, but I know for sure they did it last year too).

 White pumpkin and shadow

Last time I was there the sun was shining creating lovely shadows.

Another pretty shadow

Hanging Squash

 Hanging squash

A nearby farm stand, bakery and store hangs squash from their apple trees in October.  I think the squash are pretty ornaments, and the last time I was there the sun was shining casting lovely shadows on the squash.

Gingerbread Trim

 Shadows on Brick

I'm a big fan of the shadows gingerbread makes on older homes.

Longer view

This was likely a rather posh home at one time but now I believe it has been divided into apartments. The owner appears to be keeping the outside in pretty good condition.
