Love the silhouette, Flannelman, and the dogs and human shadows. Still trying to figure yours out kbrog, part butterfly, part kissing chickens?

Anyway, I just happened to be out at the Joliet Iron Works Historic Site this morning and was intrigued by some of the soft shadows the nearby trees cast on the remains of the old furnace stacks. So here is a shot of that..

Actually the whole place was rather fascinating and I'm planning another walk around there soon.

And just a litte FYI via Wikipedia if you want to know more about the site. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joliet_Iron_and_Steel_Works

kbrog - Welcome to the challenge!! What a cracker of a shot! Is it a dragon?? I love it and it is perfect!

LovelyPoetess -  Isn't is scary how time actually flies. This is already week 19 of 2010!!! And I guess if you are having fun with taxes, time even goes quicker!! Hehehe...
What a beautiful image you have placed. I love the softness on the rather harsh and worn stone! A very fresh idea!!!

It is a beautiful sunny day today here after 2 weeks of solid rain! So hey, maybe I can catch a shadow or two!!!

Good morning (for me the clock says so ;-))

Kim (bkrog) I guess this are shadows of very big and wonderful shells.
anyway a stunning picture.

LovelyPoetess, this is an interesting place, also for 'playing with shadows', looks great.

Next time I hope to drop a shadow here too :mellow: (it's the first day without rain today)

Seeyou

Just beautiful, Babuci.
To see this every morning.
Now we can enjoy it here too ;-)

Oh Tunde, the windows in your house must all be so beautiful!  I can't believe you've held out on us with this one!  LOL!  It's my favorite so far.  Gorgeous!!

I have decided to upload an ass and his shadow - a bit of a lighter mood!!

Meisiekind - Nice Ass!  Shadow that is.  ;D

Yes that is a Oriental jade Dragon casting a shadow on the wall behind my fireplace mantel. Daytime using a flashlight.

Carin - Isn't he cute peeking around the corner at us. Nice crisp shadow in the bright African sun.
Tunde - Like the colors and your tilt that I haven't seen in awhile :)
Yvonne - Wow...didn't know about the Joliet Iron Works...would make a great place to poke around.
Kim - I've spent time looking...I'll bet you didn't do those shadows with your hands and fingers ;-)
Helle - Like your Easter Island Head complete with subtle shadows.
Flannelman - Your doggie reminds of a one eyed Jack. Stark shaddow looks great. 

Bill:)

LMAO @ Kim!!!! He is quite a cutie - the ass I mean!

Thanks Bill - yeah, the African sun cast wonderful shadows - when it shines!!!! We had 2 solid weeks of rain, but today was sunny! Yay!!!

How awesome, Carin. So lovely (shadow)!

@ Tara, thank you.
@Carin, love the shadow of the humble animal.
@Bill, if I have a chance I will tilt. Sometimes suitable most of the time not but I am a rule breaker...lol.
@aksirp, well we do have lots of sunny day at a moment, but trust me the time will come when we will have rain only. This is australia and I love it.

@ Tara - oh my friend - trust you to look up and find a wonderful shot!!! great lines and shadows and a perfect shot for the challenge!

@ PJ - I'm glad you got some encouragement!!! Love the shadows on the wall - reminds me of a song! The cactus is divine with the wonderful light on one side and the complete dark shadow on the other!!

@ Martin - oh yes - I love this. The diagonal lines also add some dimension to the woodies' shadows! Very cool indeed!

Gosh - this is so much fun! We've had sun since yesterday - so now I need to get out and take a pic or two!!

Say it with: "music in the shade."

hey, hey!,
just play
now I am fast away
(LOL) Mies.**

Those are wonderful shots and they infer the reality behind the shadows so very well. 

Excellent entries, everybody!  This is a great challenge.  What fun!  I'll keep my eyes peeled for more!

My humble entry, hope it qualifies. :)

@ Martin - I love the effect of the curtain on the floor and the postwork is super cool!

@ Mies - WOW - wonderful! It looks like the potplants are "holding hands"!!! I love the image with the music stand and all the different shadows in play!!!

@ wild_child - welcome to the Challenge! Super entry. I love it. You can throw two more in!!! Looking forward to seeing more from you!!

Today was such a busy day, but I am catching up - slowly but surely!!!

 to wild child: not humble at all, very intresting!
to Mies: sunny place for playing guitare!
thats realy fun with you all!

Wow, so many more neat images! Funny how when we look shadows pop up everywhere.
Gotta give a real thumbs up to the green drinks & their shadows, nice work Tunde.

@ Helle... LOL... Poor you for having to make such a tough choice! Your image is superb! I love the shadow of the tree in the window and the the reflection of the branches at the top!
Great one!

@ LovelyPoetess - Marvelous lines and shadows casted by the bridge! So well seen!!!

Man - I need to get out this weekend!!!

@ Mies: are that sanseverias? looks if they are blossoming
@ Helen: cool shades on that blinds
@ wild-child: cool backlight shot, great contrasts
@ LovelyPoetess: cool looking structures

Ha! Now why do I get mental images of striped-legged ladies on bicycles after looking at this photo? 

Quote - @ Mies: are that sanseverias? looks if they are blossoming

Yes, Prutzwork, this are Sanseverias, but without blossom.
That was a joke from me.

I have also taken the shadow of an mysterious thing, that I found in our garden.
I put it between that two pots.
(Perhaps that mysterious thing can in that other topic be placed.
Then you can guess what it is. I know now what it is, ha, ha!!)

btw, I don't like Sanseverias, but that are the only ones how will grow there in that place.

Oh, the other pictures are also very great.  
Love the curtains, that bridge, the cute dog.  
 
I have 2 others shaddows, but, don't know which to choose.  
We will see.  
 
Great weekend to your all!!  
 Mies.

Help :blink: !
I again did something wrong. Everything is become to big in the write-window.
Maybe someone can change this for me.
I try to cancel, and do it new, but without good result.
I'm sorry.:ohmy:
mea culpa ;-) Mies.

Awww Tara - you have captured Mandy!!! I assume you two have become thick as thieves!!! Wonderful shadow of the pooch and I love the KANSAS in the image! Great one!!!!

Welcome to the challenge Christo! This is such a cool image - perfect for the challenge! Great one my friend.. Looking forward to see more!!
:-)
