Advent Calendar – Friday 23rd December 2011

“It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.”
~ Eleanor Roosevelt ~

 

Friday My Town Shoot Out  theme of the week is “Lights”.

Friday My Town–From the Hip

“Shooting from the hip” ?! What kind of a theme is that??
People will think I’m mad… They’ll be giving me LOOKS… I know it…

Better go somewhere empty and quiet to practice…
… just snow and shadows…

Okay, maybe ready to try a street… a quiet street…

 

Is it a good idea to cut trees in -10°C?
What do I know, I don’t have a garden!
(Was this really taken from the hip?
Or did I sneak a look?
Can’t remember!)

 

Another day, another part of town… Street going uphill…

To see what other people have made of this theme, go to Friday My Town.

My Shadow

No sun today, so I had to go back in my archives looking for shadows!
This photo is from about a month ago, but as for the snow situation, things do not look much different. The shadow in the middle is of course the one that should normally be avoided in a picture: that of the photographer! I was well aware of it when I took this photo though - believe it or not… ;) It was the perspective lines, shadows included, that fascinated me in this picture.

Shadow Shot Sunday # 139 at ‘Hey Harriet’

PS. Her post this week is well worth a visit for her words on the Queensland flood alone.
