Taking a break during one of our hikes, grabbed this shot of our shadows. That is a shadow of my daughter on the right. HDR processed.

My shadow in the golden landscape of Val d'Orcia, Italy.

Many thanks to Angela Lobefaro (Angie Real) and Love_and_lego (max) who let me know these great places!

Particular thanks to Mauro855 who acted as a cicerone showing us the best of the best of Val d'Orcia beauties!

After a morning when it snowed*, and the sky was covered with grey clouds, this afternoon was another world!

The woods are looking very springlike with their haze of new green leaves, and the low sunshine cast long shadows.

 

*yes really, exactly as forecast - but no photos as it didn't settle, just flakes swirled around in the wind.

Shadow managed to climb and jump up on this roof top of an old abandoned Japanese military house. Taiwan. see Time Past 6, this was her way up to the roof.

Today I start my third 52 weeks project to keep the inertia of making photos, and I'll also sign my photos from now on, thanks for viewing ;)

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. It is popular in various cultures. At present, more than 20 countries are known to have shadow show troupes.

The Turkish tradition of shadow play called Karagöz and Hacivat was widespread throughout the Ottoman Empire and featured characters representing all of the major ethnic and social groups in that culture. It was performed by a single puppet master, who voiced all of the characters, and accompanied by a classical Ottoman music ensemble. Its origins are obscure, deriving perhaps from an older Egyptian tradition, or possibly from an Asian source.

During the 19th century these characters were adapted to the Greek language and culture, Karagöz and Hacivat becoming Karagiozis and Hadjiavatis with each of the characters assuming stereotypically Greek personalities. This tradition thrived throughout Greece after independence as popular entertainment for a largely adult audience, particularly before competition arose from television. The stories did, however, retain the period setting in the late years of the Ottoman Empire. Karagiozis theatre has undergone some revival in recent years, with the intended audience tends largely juvenile.

While scrolling through past years' photos I found a picture of my roommate that I seemed to have brushed past. At the time we lived in an apartment that had really cool railings on the patio; the shadow on his face was created by the said railings.

Who said the desert is not beautiful? Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. For instance, what do you think of this small plant, a loose branch of another plant, and the shadow they beautifully draw on the sand?

I've been waiting

In the shadows for my time"

Nighttime “Shadow Monsters.” They exist. If you can see your shadow, the Shadow Monster can see you. When alone, you will feel their presence. Do not look over your shoulder … quicken your pace … find a haven. Don’t mention to anyone that a Shadow Monster was following you. They won’t believe you. They will think you have been drinking. I know that I was when I took this photo.
