Here's my Shadow Shot(s) Sunday #51
Shadows on the Brisbane Powerhouse arts centre
Outside the Brisbane Powerhouse, a large public art sculpture creates some shadows. As does speedy scooter boy who crashed my shadow shootin' party. He suddenly appeared from nowhere and I really like the addition of his little shadow in the shot. I didn't think at the time to take a photo of the complete sculpture but while drafting the post I thought it may be of interest to some, so I did an image search and found one photo. I thought there'd be more. Below image sourced from Brecknock Consulting Projects.
The sculpture is by artist Richard Tipping and I believe it to be a representation of the level of water in this particular location during the 1974 Brisbane floods. I could be wrong about this, so please feel free to correct me if I am and I'll amend the post. I'll be posting about the Brisbane Powerhouse this Wednesday, so if you are interested in seeing a little more of this unique heritage-listed arts venue, do pop back then!
My friend Gina from Gingerbread gave me this adorable award recently. Thanks so much Gina! I'd like to pass it along to all SSS participants because all of your blogs are 'deer' to me! Mmmm...cupcakes! Enjoy!
Elizabeth (About New York) is one of the organisers behind this cool event. Here's my attempt at haiku.
Fragile so it seems sew its seams she unravels in heavy cycles

Oh and Shadow Shot Sunday turns one year old next Sunday. Woohoo! To celebrate the occasion I have a special little surprise in store for next week. I hate keeping secrets but I don't want to spoil the surprise!
Ok, I think that is all for now. Phew! Gosh I bet you thought this post was never going to come to an end!
Happy Sunday!

Can't wait for the surprise next week!
You get the best shadows.I guess I ought to leave my home once in awhile and get different pictures.
Happy SSS. Sorry I missed last week. Isn't it amazing how many are joining in? Last year around the 30th of this month, was my first shadow..the flag shadow.
Enjoy your Sunday!
Happy SS
Your haiku was very clever indeed.
Thank you so much for including all the information in your blog.
we think it should be fun.
Off to Elizabeth's to check out her festival - have a great weekend!

I love the triangle shadow on the building, and the little cyclist adds just the right touch of life to that photo. The flood sculpture is so clever. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Powerhouse.
Congrats on the award! You do deserve it, you do. And I'll stop over at your friend's Etsy shop straight from here.
I admire people who can do haiku well. I am not one of them.
Can't wait to see what the surprise is!

Almost one year old? SSS? Wow! Congrats.
Love the award! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Sorry to miss out this Sunday, but my computer monitor died and had to be replaced (sound at all familiar?). I love your post this week - partidularly the flood sculpture. The Powerhouse is a favourite and I will make a point of taking a look see at the sculpture myself. Did you pay your little male model for his stylistic scootering? He looks so cute!
Your first SS is great! (I have a bit of a 'thing' for old buildings hmmm.)
I would've thought the 74 floods were higher than that? But I really have no idea, not being around at the time ;)
Looking forward to your surprise next week too!
Happy Sunday (I bet you thought this comment would never end - sorry!)
Don't fall off your seat but I've got a shadow to share this week Gx
p.s love your haiku!!
Great shadows you have! I really like that sculpture, it's awesome! Congrats on the award. Mine is posted. Have a great day!!
Sherrie

Also, I am flattered to see that you used my first shadow shot in you collage! Thanks so much for letting me play! This is so fun!!
All week long, I've been roaming around trying to find a fun shot to take and submit, so thanks also for getting me to use my noodle! :)
Hugs and blessings,
But if it makes up for it, my little boy took the shots!
Love your collages as usual & thought your haiku was pretty darn cool. I'm also anxious to check out the Etsy shop too.
Thank you Tracy.
PS Your shadows shots are wonderful I especially like the art center.
Look at that blue sky in the first shot! Gorgeous and I like the angle.
Congrats on the cute award, too!
Hugs and blessings,
