Just a really simple shot of an ordinary street that I walk down often here in Mexico City, to get from my neighbourhood Colonia Cuauhtemoc to La Condesa, an area with lots of parks, cafes, bars and restaurants just twenty minutes away. I added a little sepia tint to give the shot a more old-fashioned retro feel, as I have been looking recently at some of the beautiful vintage sepia prints of old Mexico City in the early twentieth century...............For a look at inspiring shadow shots from around the world this week click here for Hey Harriet.

Very sharp shadows and indeed that sepia tint makes it look a more old-fashioned retro feel.

Hi Catherine, have been having a crazy time at work, and haven't been out and around as much as I would like... were you able to get to the Island of Dolls finally?
Love your cemetery shadow shots a few posts down here. Looks like you have been busy too... enjoying a wide range of Mexico ! BTW, have you read Grahame Greene's book about travelling in Mexico?
I love the sepia tint in this shot.
My word verification today is "borat." How funny!

Greetings from London.
wonderful! this is the first sepia-tinted shadow shot i've seen as part of shadow shot sunday and i'm loving the effect. i was just reading your profile on your sidebar and wow! i'm so enthralled with the journey you're on. maybe a bit envious as well? lol take care!
what a wonderful response this week!! thanks so much for all your appreciative comments....
I was in Singapore during the Sars, people too wore mask. But masks are not comfortable things. they became very hot, and people didn't wear them properly.
Thanks for visiting my site.
Great shadow contrasts of strong bar shape against wandering leaves. Beautiful!
