    Nice!
    Shadows are the great equalizer, something that everyone has.

    Very nice shadow shots--I always love how your shadow changes depending on the angle of the sun. Those that make you look 10 feet tall are always fun. Who are you? Only you know for sure--and sometimes you don't even really know who you are. Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)

    Wow! You could do a whole series (maybe two dozen or more shots) of the same scene with different actors. I'm impressed!


    I LOVE MY SHADOW

    I love my shadow,
    My shadow loves me;
    We chat together
    And don’t disagree!

    My shadow and I
    Prefer not to shout
    As we go walking
    And rambling about.

    My shadow’s so wise,
    I ask what she thinks;
    She’s happy to share,
    And then nods and winks.

    My shadow and I
    Are best buds, you see;
    That’s why we try hard
    To always agree!

    some days it is hard to remember...and the shadows we cast are maps to bring us home to find out.

    Under the sun, we seem to have our doubles in the form of a shadow. The shadows showcase the motion of the subjects, if not their moods. What we all see here is a beautiful day at the beach!

    Beautiful shots. I know you're posting a deeper question but that top photo looks like Marilyn Munroe (can't be I suppose if you took it) or Shelley Winters (who is now too old to look like that). I haven't the foggiest clue about the 2nd man. I tend to agree with Kay Davies, that most people wouldn't know the answer to the question you post. Very compelling post.

    I noticed the same thing that many did, both figures, whoever they are, had their head cast downward. Maybe looking at their own shadows as they move and sway with the cadence of their steps. Very nice shadow shots.
