Shadow Shot Sunday #28
Howdy! It’s been a while between posts. It’s just been one of those weeks. So many other things that I’ve needed to focus my attention on so I’ve had to neglect my blog a little. It will be more of the same this coming week also. I will always manage to find the time for the Shadow Shot Sunday posts. I’m too obsessed with shadows to skip them. Thanks to all the wonderful participants for indulging my obsession. I’d also like to mention that it hasn’t been a completely blog-free week for me, as I did a couple of posts over at the BrisStyle blog. So please feel free to pop on over anytime. We always enjoy visitors!
The four Shadow Gallery collages this week feature one photo from each participant from last Sunday. If you’d like to participate in SSS, it's easy peasy! Shoot a shadow, post it on your blog on Sunday (or close to Sunday), then add your link to Mr Linky at the bottom of this post, and visit other players. Have fun!

Here's my Shadow Shot Sunday #28
This is a small part of the Myer City store Christmas window, which is a popular Brisbane festive tradition now in its 53rd year. This year’s Myer window display is based on the book How Santa Really Works by UK author and illustrator Alan Snow. It is one of the best displays I’ve seen in years. I think my squeals of delight may have frightened the poor kiddies that happened to be there while I was merrily snapping away. I took so many photos but this was the only one that featured a prominent shadow. A bunch of the shots will be made into Christmas postcard sets for my little nieces. I did that last year with photos I took of the display and they seemed to like them. It will now be our new tradition. Our tradition may not however last 53 years. I am thinking my nieces will probably be well and truly over it long before then.
News Flash! Elizabeth (About New York and The House In Marrakesh blogs), a regular shadow shooter (and the inspiration behind me starting this Shadow Shot Sunday meme in the first place!) has just had published a most charming looking children’s book titled Jane in Winter and it is now available for purchase right here. Just in time for Christmas! Woohoo! Besides writing the book, the multi-talented Elizabeth was also responsible for creating the adorable cover art for it! Congratulations Elizabeth!
Description: The story of Jane Mabry, an ordinary ten year old girl who lives in a romantic gamekeeper's cottage on the estate of the once powerful Mabry family. Jane's life is transformed when she meets Mrs. Parsifal and her adventures begin. This is a story for children, but Anglophiles and those who grew up in the 1950's--or wish they did-- will relish a visit to a vanished world. Aimed at readers aged 8-12 but can be enjoyed by grown ups too - synopsis sourced from the Lulu website
Take care, stay safe and see you next Sunday. Hoping you all have a wonderful week ahead!
Happy Sunday!

Congratulations, Elizabeth! I got my copies -- a hard copy and an ebook version. The ebook satisfied my instant gratification desire, while I wait for the hard copy book to arrive in the mail. I'm able to start reading immediately!
Paz *happy* ;-)

Great collages!!
Congrats to Elizabeth:)
Congrats to Elizabeth, what a beautiful illustration.
And thanks for your nice comment.
So have I done my picture.
The pictures is taken in Tossa de Mar in Spain, 3 march 2007, between 21:00 pm and 01:30 am.
I took the first moon picture, and than I took out the moon from the other pictures and paste it in on the first picture.
Great that you like my shout.
Irene
I'm afraid to say that SpittingInk's is a bit of a spooky shot. Looks like that lady's brewing up some wicked spells.
I love your shadow shot of the Christmas display. What a great idea taking these pics and using for little postcards. You're so super clever!
Congrats to Elizabeth, went to have a look but was having trouble so i shall try again shortly.
Have a great week.

I'm 53 and I'd love a postcard set!! ;)
Congrats to Elizabeth on her book.
I love your post this week, it's so colorful and makes me smile!
I look forward to this meme. I see beautiful shadows everywhere now; as I know is the case with other friends who participate in SSS.
Mr. Linky alludes me again for SS #28. I don't see myself registered. Oh, well. Come by anyway and take a look at my entryway SS shots!
This may be a terribly ignorant quetion, but do most people in Australia celebrate Christmas?
AND----Thanks for the referral to the book Jane in Winter. I just ordered it for my 9 year old for Christmas! I've never heard of Lulu before-it's an exciting site! I was able to read part of the first chapter of the book and I was engaged. Now I need to check out the authors site to learn more about her.
Thanks again for the referral!
How exciting for Elizabeth! Is this her first book?
congrats to Elizabeth--how wonderful!

Missed you, but will return..xoxRosebud..
I really like the deep blues and purples in the shadows.
Jane in Winter looks beautiful. I may snatch a copy for my niece.

Just too bz or NOt... Burglar broke in at home last monday & I was devastated coz am alone w/my daughter as my hubby was in Luxembourg for a business trip for a week. That's the reason am quite the whole week.
Cheers mate!
Shadows inspire me! I usually have a camera wherever I go so I happily snap shadows whenever I see them. Unfortunately my backyard isn't very interesting :)
