Caught this couple at a bus stop in Oslo, early evening in April. I like the way the shadows seem to show something slightly different to what we see of the pair that cast them.

Thanks to Maree for the use of her kitchen and amazing photo table.
A big thank you to Maree's neighbour for providing the magnificent chess set, It belonged to his Grandfather and it originally came from Afghanistan. I like this connection to the theme.
The giggles could be heard all around ... my hubby and best friend morphing their shapes.... we had such a laugh and so did all the passers by!! :D
Yesterday I found this cup and saucer set for reading fortunes using tea leaves. It was in a local charity shop. It looked brand new but they'd stuck a label on its box saying "No book".
I asked to look inside, someone said "There is no book",
I said I'd like to look anyway.
The cup was packaged beautifully with red cloth around it. Under the red cloth was the saucer. And under that was the book. I said "Look, the book".
Without letting me see it the woman at the till extracted it and looked at it. "Its in Chinese" she said. "Do you still want it?". "Yes" I said.
And when I got it home and looked at it I found it was in English!
Of course its no use to me as I don't drink tea!
-------------
Though the cup's real use, for me, is of course as a subject for February's MSH category - tomorrow - as what else does someone want to read fortunes for but to know what tomorrow holds?
this shadow appears on the window over my kitchen sink at a certain time every day. i love it so much.

'Shadow Play'
Editorial up on INP Magazine
Featuring Emily J Odonnell
A traditional shadow puppet performance from Kerala is called Tolpavakoothu. Leather-made puppets are placed in front of a white screen, while being lit by lamps placed in a row on the other side of the screen. Musicians and puppeteers stand backstage and maneouver the puppets with the aid of sticks attached to the slim leather figures.
A girl after my own heart, flying along the bike lane, overtaking anyone and everyone in her path. And trying to escape the shadows in the process
Puppets Shadow
The puppet
Strings dangle down
as she moves around
her movements broken
as her head hangs down
Her master makes her sway
about through the play
but her spirit sit dully inside.
Her pain is unheard
as she owns not a mouth
but instead submits to the voice of another.
The shadow
he dances about
following her steps she puts out
mimicking each move that she makes.
he make not a sound
and his presence unknown,
even though the light makes him seen.
he has no choice, as to where or how he voices
the things that go on in his self.
