shadow shot sunday








my shadow shot for this week was taken inside our famous Calatrava at the Milwaukee Art Museum.   It was a sunny day after a long stretch of overcast skies.  initially I was interested in the harbor in the distance and then I saw the shadows, so the whole scene was a pleasant surprise.  after so many cloudy days I considered any shadows a blessing, as that meant the sun was shining on us!

to check out shadows from around the world, just visit Tracy at Hey Harriet.  thanks for hosting Tracy!

What a terrific shadow shot for the day and what an interesting place! Love the view through that glass wall -- well, that's what it looks like! Enjoy your weekend!!

I'm sure it is much warmer INSIDE the museum than outside!

SILLY SHADOW DITTY

Shadows may or may not be
Patterns of urbanity.
If a shadow threatens you,
Here, my dear, is what to do:
Grab the shadow by the throat,
Toss it to a billy goat,
So the goat can chomp and chew,
Keeping it away from you!

Another great shot that has that distinctive Miss Becky look to it. I could pick your photos out from the crowd any day.

Really nice! the reflections and shadows are great!

What a great shadow! The sun and glass give the viewer the feeling of warmth by a glimpse. The window shadows fall onto the tiles below, giving a slightly wavy feel. Kind of like the surface of Lake Michigan when it isn't frozen. The warmth of life is always with us, despite the cold that envelops us. Stubbing capture!

Oh what a wonderfully decadent shot for us summerphiles, even in the middle of winter we long for it and there's nothing that calls it more pleasantly than water, warm water inside...sigh...!

At the bank this morning there was a Mountain Ash tree just loaded with robins busily munching away at the berries...gonna plant me some of them next summer...it's a sign, I just know it's a sign!!!

Stay warm!

Love those angles, and the wavy reflections of the clouds gives a real sense of wateriness inside! The sea looks so calm and restful, but very very cold! Stay warm, and have a lovely SSS.

Hi Becky,
This photo is awesome and very artistic. Rather i wound say "surreal".
The floor looks like it's filled with a water!
This is another favorite photo.
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.

Oooooh. I'm not sure what is what here, floor, sky, or water, but it gives me a (good kind of) shiver.

Johnny Nutcase said...

the sun is definitely trying! And it makes for excellent shadows, neat composition in this one.

Superb shadow shot. A real winner with this one! And isn't sun after gray days so welcome?
