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 ;)

Truly--the lightening photo--so nice, all of them, actually. Thanks for taking my imagination on a brief trip!
(What is a LouLou?-maybe I'm showing my ignorance-but I'm a question asker!)

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) ?

I love the sandals...a well worn pair of shoes speaks volumes of the miles walked!

Hi Tessa, Beautiful images and I certainly wish I could be there, have a good week :D

The W.O.W. factor! said...

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.

Hey Tessa! Love the photos...they look very professional! The sandals could be in a catalog! Very nice!!

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!
