Here's my Shadow Shot Sunday #131



I discovered these shadows while walking down the alleyway that runs beside Downes Shoes (Brisbane's fave Dr. Marten shop!) in Fortitude Valley. The shop is about 120 years old I believe, and rumour has it that there's a resident ghost living upstairs. The ghost at least has a pretty view from those little windows.

Happy Sunday!

I LOVE that first photo! That looks like one for your shop...maybe it's already there.

I think lights strung outdoors is so romantic:)

Happy Sunday Tracy!

I love these lights. When wedecorate for an occasion and use lights, I want to leave them up forever, and why not? And these might cast shadows when lit as well as create them during the day. Looks like a great place. An alleyway, I like that.

Peace.

Very cool. Love those strings of lights, and they do make great shadows.

Shameless plug for our blog: Pixels at an Exhibition just celebrated our 2nd anniversary.

Those are absolutely wonderful! It looks like an alley in Italy or something. I can imagine how magical it must look at night when lit up.

Chubskulit Rose said…
Creepy hehehe, and I bet the ghost would love to see those shadows too. Would you freak out if you take a picture and then you see the shadow of the ghost?

Love the lights and their shadows - not a shady alley, that's good. Light makes ghosts shy ;-)

Those lights are so cute strung through that alley - we're sure that at night it would cast fantastic shadows....perfect for haunting, of course :)

Lovely shadows! And such a wonderful place name - Fortitude Valley. Doesn't sound like a ghostly place at all.

The effect you've used is perfect. That first one seems mysterious and otherworldly - just the thing for a haunting. And I love the shadow pattern cast in the second. Nice, nice!

Interesting the way the shadow falls on the wall.

Tracy girl you pick NOW ? to talk of a ghost ? Where was this during my Halloween obsession, girl ?? LOL
Hey .. you are right .. this ghost has a great view .. those are sharp shadows !
Thank you so much for including me in the collages (I never know if that is spelled correctly?)I appreciate it!
Joy : )

Beautiful shot of the sky with the textured buildings on the side. And the shadows in the second shot look like an abstract design on canvas.

The collection of shadows from last week are amazing. I enjoyed catching up that way on everyone's posts.

Hope you had a lovely weekend.

Hello Tracy,

I love the blue color in your first shot. So, so pretty! I imagine I'd like to walk down that alley often. So cool of you to look up. I find a lot of people in my life who don't look up. What a missed opportunity in this life journey of ours.

The triangle shaped wires and lights in the second shadow shot is wonderful. A very interesting view.

Hope your weekend was full of happiness!

Beautiful photos.
Can a ghost be said to be "living" upstairs? LOL
Thanks for another Shadow Shot Sunday, Tracy. Just about to post mine. Was fun to see our dog Lindy made it into one of the mosaics. That's my favorite, where she lay down to rest in front of another dog's yard, ignoring him completely.

How lovely! Are those round things light globes by any chance? If so, I bet that street looks a treat at night! I love that there's a possible ghost in the shop too - so cool! Although, having said that I think it would scare me a bit going in! :0)

How did your fair go by the way? I hope the weather was good for you guys! ...and that you were rushed off your feet with appreciative admirers! It's all happening, isn't it? It's nearly Christmas! It can't come soon enough for me because I've got two weeks off - absolutely can't wait!!

Have a lovely week sweetie and thank you for putting in my two guys into your collages - so pretty! XOXO's

Delightful especially with the ghost/ I wonder, could you catch his shadow on a moon lit night? You never know what you might find in an alley.

lovely weathered brickwork and looong shadow under the window.

What neat shadows ... too bad you didn't capture the ghost shadow too!!

A ghost huh, the friend that rewired my shop told me that when he was working in my basement, he felt something grab his leg, he thought it was me or his wife...NOT...now I have something else to dwell on in my lil' pink shack...heehee!!!

Love your shadow, looks like a stick person climbing the wall...have a great week Tracy!!!
November 21, 2010
Ralph said…
The alley is a classic as it sits nestled between the old brick buildings. The ghost will have a spectacular look at the goings on in our modern time...
November 21, 2010
Dimple said…
Those lights make great shadows on the wall! I like the shadows from the windows, too, and the feel of the colors, as if you scanned some old prints!
November 21, 2010
muchlove said…
very nice shadows, Tracy. The ghost must be enjoying the view so much if he/she's stayed there for 120 years!

Lovely contrast, the straight lines vs the irregularly-shaped and weathered bricks.

"Christmas must be on the way, lighting up my life again"!

I like your light-shadows on that wonderful old wall, but mostly I like the ghost story, which I hope you will expound on one day. I love ghosts!
And it seems that I missed linking here again. I see that I was in Mr. Linky last week but my post didn't show up and I was hoping it would this week so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can you help?
November 22, 2010

These are both fabulous, Tracy! The first one looks so festive, and the 2nd one a bit ominous. (Makes me believe in that ghost!) Great shots!

So happy the shadows a little sunshine can make. With you and your special camera and viewpoint (seeming very aqueous lately) and trusty blog, actual art happens.

I have some reflection-shadows that almost seem like aliens landed:
