After two consecutive weekends away and a trip looming next weekend to Nicaragua, I am enjoying a quiet and tranquil weekend at home.....
There are no shortage of shadows in my tiny flat dubbed "El Palacio Rojo" (The Red Palace), and I like these tiny quiet spaces which for some reason remind me of two English artists - Rachel Whiteread famous for making white plastercasts of forgotten spaces that nobody notices, and Alan Bennett's monologues in "Talking Heads"; one of which is entitled "The cracker under the sofa"...
For more fun with shadows, check out the weekly meme Shadow Shot Sunday for a wonderful selection of imaginative and creative photography...

Beautiful red SSs--so rich! You've brought back memories of my travels in Mexico and Central America. Happy new week & safe travel!
This is one of the most creative shots I have seen in a long time. You have a wonderful imagination.
The mosaic is so amazing! Very very nice shadow shots from Mexico City! Wow!
The light filters through the shadows up top, the mix of light orbs and shadows so beautiful! The palms are leaving their interesting shape against the red instead of the usual green. The shapes seem to be moving with the breeze, too. Brilliant captures!
Shadows are just beautiful...love the collage here Catherine. And yeah, there's no place like home...have a nice trip. looking forward to your nicaragua photos.
Lovely. That middle one is my favorite, but they all have such great color and cool shadows.
Nice shadows against a colorful background.

Beautiful pinks and reds and mosaic arrangement - do like the first shot and the reference to the English artists.

You asked where my shadow shot is taken. Well it is taken in Nijmegen, a city in The Netherlands, Europe.
Wonderful shadow photos!

Hey Harriet - thanks for the vote of confidence in my colour shots...think my contributions will change drastically when I move back to London!!
to all you shadow shooters who have stopped by this week - thanks so much for all the appreciative comments - loved reading them and loved all your shots too..
Your pictures are like nonfigurative art. Perfect! Often the abstract art is a picture of the reality. Thanks for your comment.
I love the reds and the shadows, the collage is a nice bonus. Have fun on your trip, I wish I was going!
