“It was a moment, 1968, that mysteriously stepped outside of time, one that was forever bringing the young to dimensions of eternity and the sacred”

Shadow Shots from the Textile Museum

Shadow Shot Sunday # 145

These were all in an exhibition from the museum’s collections.
I decided to show them together,  because in all three the
shadow effect was obviously intended to be part of the experience.
(In the last shot, you also have a “bonus shadow”… hmm…)

(Unfortunately I did not make note of the names of the artists.)

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…

Alien

DSCN2108

It’s still a frozen white world out there. I managed a minor polar
expedition a few days ago to the little park that I prefer to think of
as “Butterfly Park” (it has another official boring name which you
don’t need to know). No butterflies now! But I found an “alien”…
hmm… Looks like it at a distance against the light, at least…
“E.T. phone home”…!
Actually it’s a grill, I think.

Something else that looks a bit out of place this time of year is
the sign telling people to be extra careful of the croquet lawn.

 

DSCN2127

This must be another alien. Or perhaps it’s me that’s the alien.
I had enough trouble even walking. This one was running!
