Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.
Hey guys. I gotta tell you, posting is getting hard these days. No, I haven’t run out of ideas, of awesome photos or such(whoever thinks such things!!). Rather, it’s something you all experience(d) in life, namely, EXAMS. Yeah, exams round the corner. I’m making this post as I sit in the library and study Mathematics(:P).
Well, today’s pics depict shadows. Shadows, ha, that reminds me of something from my childhood, the time I was innocent, so innocent I used to wonder why the black thing on the wall was following me everywhere, and when I finally learn that I can make the black, dark thing move on my own, I start manipulating it, starting with making a DOG shadow, fish, monster and the works…. I’m pretty sure all you guys have done this in your childhood too(now now, it’s something to be proud of, because congratulations, you’re normal!).
So, I ask of you. What do you interpret from these two images posted today(Let me tell you, one of them is pretty obvious, but hey, use your IMAGINATION, go ahead!).

If I sit back and stare at the picture, it looks like steps of stone form an ancient village. 🙂
hmm, nice interpretation. Didn’t even think of that.
In the 50s in England there were still live entertainments called Variety Shows. Amongst the magicians, acrobats and impersonators there would always be a Shadow Man. He made picture shadows on a large screen using only his hands – animals, silhouettes of famous people and even short shadow dramas…anyhoos, thank you for ‘shadowing’ art rat cafe and I look forward to exploring your blog in more depth…
Thank you clinock

Love this photo…I’m so into shadows….
glad u do Jane!
very easy. They are 3 televisions side by side ( somebody has emptied them of their electronic elements) and fireworks at midday. Have I won?
Hmm, Can’t get it. Maybe I havn’t had enough coffee yet. It’s only 8AM here. I’ll keep looking though.
I love all of this! Good luck your Exams!
glad you do Dale. Thanks for dropping by
Good luck of those exams! Tony
thanks Tony!
You’re welcome! 😉
Best of luck for the exams… and I an also wondering about shadow in my childhood.
🙂 we all did
yeah…
I’m guessing they’re trees??? Haha, I don’t know lol. Now I feel kinda stupid for commenting because they’re probably not trees at all. So just in case they aren’t, I’m gonna pull a wild card and say elephants! Am I right? 🙂
I don’t think Elephants is the award winning answer 😛
and the other is a ladder, duh!
haha, got that one!
I am obsessed with shadows too, these are amazing!
Thank you for your appreciation in my blog,

anytime ArtPhalt!
The first one i see, er, a ladder.. The second, a sideways dog with a massive head!
lolol sideways dog 😛 😛 😛
What a wonderful quote to go with such a beautiful picture! Lovely.
thank you Kerry. The pictures are spooky to me 😛
They kind of seem otherwordly. The first photo makes me think of possiblities, personal progression. The second one makes me think of searching for just the right tree to sit under on that hot summer day.
I take it you processsed them to give them that look? May I ask what you did?
I havn’t done anything, these photos are as is submitted to me by the photographer on our Facebook Group.
From the shadows, you inner strength will give you all that you need to be all that you are! Best of all things on the exams, the moment to seize that is yours… Do what you must to work you plan! Your photographs are stunning and speak for themselves as you do what you must to follow your dream. Blessings to you on the journey! Dr Sherry
I will try my best. Thank you for your blessings Dr. Sherry
Good day to you
