Shadow Shot Sunday - Ornamental

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 arrives the day after the small town of Ansonia (19,000) Christmas/Holiday tree lighting. We don't often think of shadows in the dark, but the ambient nighttime lighting in Veterans Park next to city hall - however, the always lovely Patti captured shadows emanating from the inflatable ornaments on the ground. Never say 'never' when searching for shadows!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Potpourri

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 returns in a sunny and warm season and a variety of shadows appear without provocation - and hopefully we notice them when carrying any photo device. Clockwise from top left: Patti's gnomes leave ferocious shadows - however, in reality, they're rather friendly chaps; Allegra sitting in a 1915 Model T in the shade - her 1999 Chevy Malibu is way more modern (A/C, etc), but without the charm; At the ice cream barn at the historic (1639) Field View Farm in Orange CT; Next to Ansoia City Hall, a new sign has been posted this year - with the shady oasis nearby. These may be located in and around average and prosaic places - but they add style and character to any scene...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Ansonia memorial

It is nearly July 4 where we celebrate 241 years of declared independence for the USA, a time to celebrate. However for Shadow Shot Sunday 2, as MMT posted, we should consider those who perished to allow for this independence, so I am looking at shadows around Ansonia's City Hall. Two pics are the memorial at Veteran's Park and one in front of the building. Shadows fall over the monuments and we ought to stop and ponder the meaning of July 4...

Wordless Wednesday - Santa Claus arrived in Ansonia

Shadow Shot Sunday - Nighttime Holiday Shadows

In the US, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a festive time with colored lights are seen all over. So for today's Shadow Shot Sunday 2, I am showcasing the scene after last night's Christmas Tree lighting at Ansonia's Veteran's Park next to city hall. After the hundreds of visitors, Santa and the children who made their wishes to him have left, we see the tree in all its glory. However, the lighting from above allows for shadows to fall from the adjacent tree, adorned with a ruby glow from the star of the park. So it is not just the brilliance of the that captures our eyes, it is too the subtle shadows that add a bit of glow on this cold windy night...
