You find the neatest house shadows!


BE MY COMPANION

Come here, my shadow,
Do not delay;
Be my companion,
Show me the way;
Teach me your secrets,
Chant as we go
Of light and darkness—
Make my heart glow!

The Victorians really knew how to create shadows, didn't they? But so few of them had cameras.

The Victorian gingerbread is wonderful detail, the long ago trim so different on houses from a century ago. The shadows likewise keep the Victorian style too. Wonderful EG captures of a lovely town!

There seems to e no shortage of architectural shadows where you are! Every one is different from the other, yet related.

Jacob said...

The Shadow Master has done it again! And with great success! I like those architectural decorations but we don't have very many of them here except for the older parts of town.

Very good shot. Nice to have sun back again, eh.

Karen said...

They don't build them like this anymore! Terrific shots.

Yes, shadows and reflections. These are two fun images -- good eye! Say, all the way from Ontario to the Lilac Fest -- I hope you had some decent weather for your visit --

Hey Harriet said...

If this house had been for rent and I needed to rent one, this would be the one. I just love this style of work. Your capture of the shadows are so nice. Love the light on the brick.

Joan said...
