Shadow Shot Sunday


This photo is from the walk my husband and I took last week. Part of the trail went under the Shinkansen tracks. I love taking the Shinkansen. It is a smooth ride with comfortable and roomy seats. It's average operating speed is 170.8 mph (275 kmh). The Shinkansen has its own set of tracks. The tracks rest on massive, concrete columns and meander through the city.

Love the colours and contrast in your shadow shot. I'm very slack, I still haven't taken mine yet :o

This shadow shot looks like art. The texture, colour...everything works. Nice shot Gallery! :) Loved your shadow shot from last week also.

The Shinkansen is very high speed, is it not? The trains here we hear at night and rumble very slowly through our town.

Wishing you a good week ahead!

As Sandra Ree mentioned, your shadow shot looks like art. Many of them do & it is something I love about them. You always have such a lovely take on shadows, so subtle and sweet. What a great eye you have, the way you see things. Always amazes me, and inspires me :) Have a wonderful Sunday!

Interesting account of your train ride.

Nice shot, and interesting tid-bit. We don't have high speed trains around here. But we do have a slow moving narrow gage, it takes riders from the redwood forest mountains down to the beach. It's the most beautiful ride. Some days we hear it and some we don't.

love the shot and the texture!
Boy! We need something like that here!! I really like that photo. It has so much texture. At first I thought it was a painting of a shadow. Very nice!!

Very interesting shot and lovely colors. I wish we had high speed around here.

Everyone, thanks for having a look at my shadow shot.
Lovely shadow - it is so soft - it doesn't look like it is on concrete at all - before we read your post we thought it was wood. It has a great texture!
Enjoy your week!!

The lighting and the shading are surreal. It gives me a sense of not a picure but a painting?

ciao

summer, I think the colors on the concrete plus my sharpening of the image made the pic look like wood.

tanybug, the shadow shots are fun to do. Everyone is welcome to join.

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
