Here's my Shadow Shot Sunday #82


I think so far this may be my favourite shadow shot that I've ever taken!


Posting this second pic ruins the air of mystery to the first, but I'm not very good at being mysterious.

"Love is the shadow that ripens the vine"
[a borrowed line from Pink Floyd's 1968 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun' song. A song which according to Roger Waters contains "borrowed" lines from a book of Chinese poetry from the Tang Dynasty]

Happy Sunday!

This is wonderful! I'm glad you posted the 2nd shot....I couldn't figure out what the shadow was!

I'm following the shadowy green vine...
Nice shots ;)

Bentley's Photoblog said…
Wowza! That's one amazing set of shadows you caught there! They look almost cartoonish and very cute! A perfect quote to go with the photos and interesting trivia about the song.

I'm finally picking up my camera today so I hope to join in later tonight. It's been far too long since participating. I've missed it!

Tom Hilton said…
I really love this one! At first glance it looks sort of like bats, only upside-down...or, y'know, right side up...or, well, you know what I mean.

keiren said…
My imagination is running wild looking at the first photo! I see all sorts of funny little creatures! I am happy about you revealing the source of those wonderful shadows. Thanks for not being mysterious! The collages are beautiful as always and the creativity of everybody is very inspiring. I'm going to make it my New Year resolution for 2010 to join in SSS. I've been admiring all the great shadows each week for so long and I'm going to be brave and start posting my own! Happy Sunday to you!

I would never have guessed they were leaves on the vine, Tracy! :) Great shot!
December 13, 2009
Paula Scott Molokai Girl Studio said…
No kidding! I think it is mine too! I NEVER would've thought that a vine produced that shadow. I thought it was from an art sculpture!

Jen said…
Happy SSS to you.
Great intertwining shadow!

Amanda at 32˙North said…
I love the curlicues' shadows -- so delicate yet robust.

Happy SSS! This is my first week participating :)

Victoria said…
This is just diVine, Tracy! (sorry, I could not resist the pun... however it really is divine!)

Had you not shown the actual vine I am not sure I ever would have known. I can see why this one may be your favorite!!
December 13, 2009
Margaret Gosden said…
That is ingenius! And thought provoking! It deserves a place in your gallery, Harriet.
December 13, 2009
Ralph said…
The shadows look like bats sleeping on the vine - until uou look at the original object. A wonderful illusion!
December 13, 2009
Terri said…
That's wonderful -- I'm not sure I would have figured it out. Shadows are so magical!

I was thinking weird Hallowe'en creatures! Thanks for sharing the second shot as well!
Great photos/shadows!

So glad that you showed us the culprit of those gorgeous shadows! Those leaves are so delicate & pretty!

Fantastic. (And thanks for the reveal, too.)

Generik said…
I think that may be my favorite of all the shadow shots of yours that I've seen, too. Really outstanding! (And thanks for the reveal, because I would not have known what they were otherwise.)

I love your shots - I think I might have guessed it was some kind of plant if you hadn't included the second shot!!
December 13, 2009
bobbie said…
Yes! I can understand how you would find this a favorite! Great shot!
December 13, 2009
Hot Fudge said…
Dang - you ruined it with that second image. I was sure the aliens had landed in Brissy and were looking for our leader. But you've created an even bigger mystery. The shadow has somehow turned itself upside down. How did you do that?
December 13, 2009
Gemma Wiseman said…
Love the "string" of shadow "puppets", each with their own personality! Amazing that these are leaves on the vine! Great shot!
December 13, 2009
Jacqui said…
I love that shot - and all the guesses are fun too. I began thinking it was fish drying on a line, but that my be related to my own post. Cool one anyway.
December 13, 2009
EJ said…
Very interesting shot!

During winter, its good to look at picturesduring summer
December 13, 2009
Sam said…
Yours is outstanding this week Tracy m'dear! The shoadows remind me of jazz for some reason! Don't ask me why!! I love the purpleness of the shadows too - gorgeous stuff!!

A very nice selection of collages - I love all the different seasons represented! You've got full blown summer and winter shots here - amazing!

Have a super Sunday sweetie and all the bets for the coming week! It's my last week at school this week - a huge "phew"!! I dpn't think I could have lasted longer than that without a holiday!!

Lovely line from Pink Floyd - it looks like they are dancing. MB

G'day and thank you for adding my last weeks shadow shot, much appreciated. I love your sss this week. Fantastic lines, strong shadows. Enjoy your sunday :) cya

Sarah said…
I am so glad you are notgood at being mysterious as I am not good at waiting to find things out! I really like the shapes the leaves make.
December 13, 2009
Sara Chapman in Seattle, USA said…
Super, super wonderful. The little lines of the squiggly tendrils really make the shot. I actually like the botton best one as it makes you pay attention to the remarkable shape changes the angle of the sun makes. Or something. Anyway, super cool.
December 13, 2009
Dianne said…
it's beautiful!
made me think of bats
December 13, 2009
Martha said…
The gallery is great as always and I really, REALLY love your shadow shots this week! I'm a slacker once again this week as far as photography goes. Hopefully will get back in the swing of things after the holidays. Hope you are having a great weekend! :-)

What a cool SS, Tracy! I first thought you captured a row of "hobgoblins" dancing on a wire. LOVE the fact that you didn't keep us in the dark and revealed vine! Even tho I don't always participate, I enjoy keeping up with your weekly SS collages!
December 13, 2009
Square Peg Guy said…
Thanks for the 2nd shot of the vine. It put me at ease. The first shot had a villainous feel to it!

Now I'm reading Jane's comment just above mine. "Hobgoblins" is a very fitting word to describe it!

Thank you so much for featuring my saw-toothed shadow! I already received such nice comments from it! And there are so many other great features. A spider shadow, too! Wow!

Again I'm scheduling mine with about a two-hour delay.
December 13, 2009
Diane AZ said…
I love the colors in the second one. The vine and shadow are just delightful and it is interesting what you found about the line from Pink Floyd.

I'm glad I didn't see the 2nd shot immediately (fun to guess), but glad you included it (all guesses wrong). The two together are awesome!

Hi!
Your shadows are awesome! It looks like bats hanging there until I saw the second picture. Mine is posted at my place, Sherrie's Stuff. Have a great day!

I agree - your shadow photo is great. I actually love the mystery taken out of the shot. . . the addition of the color is really stunning. Thanks for hosting this great site!

I too am glad you posted both photos Tracy. They are both uniquely beautiful in their own way.
& the Pink Floyd quote is the perfect accompaniment.
Thanks for another great week of shadow shots!

Good to see you again! I am am finally back in the groove of blogging again.

Wow! Has this shadow shot group grown. The photo collages are just as cool as ever to view.

This is a fun photo for sure! Without the full photo, my mind was really imagining what they could be: bats? handkerchiefs on the clothesline?

And the quote is beautiful. There is much to be gleaned from so few words.

Beautiful shadow. love the vines.

Lisa's RetroStyle said…
Double Wow! Interesting music trivia and "..be my favourite shadow shot that I've ever taken!"

You've taken so many great shots. I'm wondering what about this one makes it your favorite. It's very nice...I like it. I'm also wondering what will be blooming on that little vine. It looks like food. It also looks a bit heat drooped. Must be very hot there. It's very cold here...even in my basement.
December 14, 2009

Nice one T!!! You got me guessing what it was in the first picture! All's well over here..Danial's good, results are good. I love the collages as usual..esp that marble one.
December 14, 2009
Chrisy said…
Gosh...the shots are all just wonderful...and you curate them so well. The vine yes it's a beauty...can see it enlarged, matted and framed...
December 14, 2009
Tracy said…
Hi, Tracy! Love the playfulness of your photo, it is really beautiful! So many other great shadows this week... Though that spider shot spooked me... eeekkk... I have an irrational fear of spider and most insects...LOL! Happy Week, my friend :O) ((HUGS))

Hi tracy - thanks so much for stopping by. I don't know how to increase the size of the photos without affecting the blog. Don't worry - I love the challenge of your meme. Thanks for your lovely comments.

These shots are amazing. I especially like the first of yours. It looks a bit like an abstract painting.
