The bell casts an intricate shadow. I find bells very appealing - oh dear, I didn't intend that pun!

The wheel on the bell leaves an especially good shadow. This is a fine subject for Shadow Shots.

Ralph said...

The bell may be resonant, but made of cast iron, heavy and imposing. Yet the shadow is lighter in feel, the sun giving it a stylish look Heavy and light can combine in a wonderfully artistic way!

If that big bell were to ring, I'm sure the silence would be shattered for miles around!

COMPADRES

Shadows above me,
Shadows below;
Some shadows swift and
Some shadows slow;
All of these shadows,
It’s plain to see,
Are my compadres—
Sweet company!

Very nice ShadowShots! I love those old school bells. We had one at our place when we were kids and the folks would ring it to call us home from our play. Thanks for the memory. Happy SSS.

Wow, EG, What a cool shot of a cool bell! Is it operational? It looks loud!

Oh my goodness...I really like the stark contrasts in these photos...the softness of the backdrop with the grass and the stillness...then, the sharpness of the bell's metal and the concrete...well done.

Stop by if you find time and see my
