Yesterday there was no sunshine available around here to get a shadow shot, at least when I was available to get a picture. Today is a different matter and I went looking for an unusual shadow subject. This is the wall of the local Bell Canada building a few blocks from my hoem, and the shadows cast an interesting pattern on the wall. So here is my Official entry for the shadow challenge. Something I created for the challenge.
This is not a black & white image, and has not bee adjusted to eliminate the colour of the wall. The adjustments that have been made are to correct the perspective, (because I didn't keep the camera parallel to the wall) and some attention to the lighting/contrast.
Macro Monday -- theme: unusual patterns
Here is a wood rasp I've had for many years. It's got a flat side and a rounded side, with rough teeth on one end, and much finer teeth on the other. A handy rasp like this is a toolbox basic.
Compositionally Challenged, Week 24 - Marvelous Mundane
365 day 166
Years ago, I read in a gardening magazine the advice to avoid kinks and snarls: wind garden hoses into a figure-8 rather than coiling them. It was good advice. I do get an occasional kink and never a snarl. A sideways figure-8 is also the symbol for infinity, and when I am winding 85 feet of hose, it does feel like infinity.
As I studied Fine Arts and Illustration and worked as an Illustrator and a Designer a long time before I started to make dolls and things like that - I always thought about making my own fabric. And as there are only a few nice organic kid's fabrics - I knew it had to be an organic fabric for children.
So I made a lot of research and got a bit scared of the whole thing as it's a huge investment and I weren't sure which company to pick and so on and so on. And recently I got the chance to get a fabric produced together with Volksfaden.de who know a very nice company in India that is using organic fabrics and is dying with organic herbal colors - completely non toxic.
That also means that I only have a limited variety of colors. And because of the production process the colors are limited to 3 max.
I will have to choose one of my patterns until tomorrow - and then it will be produced (and I'm really excited about that :-)).
I would love to hear your opinion concerning the patterns! I have to pick one - so which one do you like most?
Inside an electric tower - looking up. I want to improve this shot, but it still was an "Ahhh - Got it" shot that I've been thinking about for awhile.
This is for the man-made repetitions and patterns series. Thanks, Jeff for great advice on the post processing. I hope I did it justice.

Each "bone" is made of 16 squares:
8 white (background)
6 patterned
2 half white/half pattern sewn together diagonally
Each square is 2" finished, so if you're using a 1/4" seam allowance you'll cut out 2-1/2" squares. Remember to add seam allowance to the long side of your triangles, too.
