A truly wordless post for Wordless Wednesday. I've never been able to do that. Great shot here. I love when you can't see what made the shadow.

Good eye for texture and dimension.

Great composition. Always great sightings at the end of the ladder :)

What a metaphor for the busy bustle of life. When you step back - you hafta wonder if where we are headed isn't a whole lot like where we've been a shadow ladder leading nowhere. Gotta love it ;)
Happy WW

What's even more fun here is that the object which cast the shadow is not in fact a ladder at all - it's a metal fence with vertical bars :).

Very well composed. I'm interested in that surface there. Is that terrazzo?

That looks an easy climb!
Have a great day!

Robin said...

Hi Bobbie. It is terrazzo - it's the (very leaky not particularly attractive and too expensive to replace so we're stuck resealing it next week) floor of our roof patio.

Great shadow photo. It really looks like a ladder. The other pictures below are neat, too. I've never thought of photographing shadows before. Thanks for visiting mine.

Your ladder to nowhere leaves me speechless! I love it.

Claremont First Ward said...

So cool. Is that the shadow from your roof top banister?

Robin said...

Yup, it is :).

What a wonderful way to capture one's imagination ! How really wonderful of you to turn a perfectly everyday shadow into a ladder with success ! :)
P.S. I liked "Life in the shadows .."
a lot too.
Do keep us regaled with your 'insights' !

Oh, that is cool! I love how you re-vision the railing as a ladder.
