Shadow play or shadow puppetry is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment using opaque, often articulated figures in front of an illuminated backdrop to create the illusion of moving images. (From Wikipedia)

Saturn's moon Prometheus casts a long shadow across the A ring in the middle-right side of this Cassini spacecraft image taken shortly before the planet's August 2009 equinox.Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles across) orbits in the Roche Division between the thin F ring and the A ring. The novel illumination geometry created around the time of Saturn's August 2009 equinox allows out-of-plane structures and moons orbiting in or near the plane of Saturn's equatorial rings to cast shadows onto the rings. These scenes are possible only during the few months before and after Saturn's equinox, which occurs only once in about 15 Earth years. To learn more about this special time and to see movies of moons' shadows moving across the rings, see PIA11651 and PIA11660.This view looks toward the northern, unilluminated side of the rings from about 31 degrees above the ringplane. Many stars are visible. The rings and stars have been brightened by a factor six relative to Prometheus to enhance visibility.The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 29, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.4 million kilometers (870,000 miles) from Prometheus and at a sun-Prometheus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 93 degrees. Image scale is 9 kilometers (6 miles) per pixel.The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.For more information about the Cassini-Huygens mission visit saturn.jpl.nasa.gov.

This was taken after work. I saw this guy working in a ditch surrounded by a green mesh portable fence. He was using his hoe. I could tell by his movement and the hoe appearing on the top of the fence with each strike. His white hat was the only thing visible throughout. His body makes for a nice shadow. It looks like a "fist". The hat's contrast with the green and blackness of the shadow make this nice.
Sometimes the shadow people like to steal away for a little while and be affectionate. Bundi, India.

This is a vase my Grandmother Myrtle gave to me and the flower is a Christmas Rose that is currently blooming like crazy in my garden.

I took this picture at the Ball der Technik, a social event from my university. This show was the midnight special at the ball. The group is called Shadow Dancers.
