Shadow Shot Sunday - Iberian Wilderness....land and sea

I'm loving this creative challenge from the innovative Hey Harriet! Do click here to browse a fantastic gallery of weekly Shadow Shots from a group of very talented photographers from around the globe.

First, a photograph taken in the wide wild landscape of Andalucia - a place that whispers to me fiercely of my beloved Africa. Then a shot of a lone fisherman on a beach from which, on a clear day, you can see the coast of Morocco. The third is of My Liege's grotty, well worn old leather sandals which he had kicked off before making a beeline for the waves.




The lightening tree and new growth



Just me and my shadow



Gone surfin'

    Such a diverse set of shadow shots. I love each one! I'm really enjoying your photos!

    Oh I don't remember seeing your link in Mr Linky, so I'll have another look now & if not there I'll pop it in. Could be that I just missed it. It's late in the evening & my brain has shut down ;)

    These are all great shadow shots, and so diverse. I don't think I can choose a favorite.

    three perfect shots. I like Andalucia very much too. Cool how you processed the second shot. What is a LouLou (cfr.your profile) ?

    What is a lightening tree? Looks like it is grown for some kind of harvesting..
    "gone surfin"~ Perfect! I do love the sand & the ocean!
    Your pictures are worth a thousand words, Tessa.

    There is much to be said for ``grotty, well worn old leather sandals''.

    Nice choice of images.

    One can only imagine the stories those sandals have to tell. And their gentle shadow is sublime!

I absolutely LOVE reading your comments. I just can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate the time you take to read my posts. To paraphrase Shakespeare - "I can no other answer make, but, thanks, thanks and thanks again."
