I didn't have to travel far for this week's shadow shot - in fact, just as far as the carpark in my building which was displaying a veritable optical illusion of stripes and angles from the gates and shadows....
The shots remind me of the Op Art work of British artist Bridget Riley, and I quite like them in sepia too....
What do you think?? For more optical illusory shadowplay check out Shadow Shot Sunday by clicking here....Have fun!!

The artistry is stunning in this world of shadows. The diagonal stripes are busy, maybe even confusing to our eyes. But we continue to look at the strong and artistic shadows. A wonderful capture!
Fantastic, Catherine! You do get some of the greatest shadow shots! Of course, Mexico you're blessed with lots of sun and that makes shadow shopping all the more fun! Have a great weekend!
Sylvia
interesting forms of shadow lines.
Flowers in the Walkwaysis my contribution to SSS.
I agree with Mr. Ralph. Very artistic in our world.
Great job, Lady.
Happy SS...

I think I'm gonna fall down...wow, what a cool shadow, better take off the bifocals!
Excellent photos!!
ohh! neat stuff! Great shadows and it certainly does play with your head some!
Wow! I thought it was an optical illusion! Great shots!
Yes! Op art! Sigh...your images always give me shadow envy! They are so intense and always lots of pattern and play.
What a fantastic quilt your images would make. If you're not a quilter, maybe you should think about it!
Very clever! You have an eye for the unusual. They're absolutely great.
Very effective optical illusionary images - it is difficult keeping the eye focused! Do you remember when an
artist put green and red together, how that jiggled the
spectrum. When you visit NYC, do let one of us know!
The first thing I though of when I saw your photos was that they reminded me of Bridget Riley's works. Then, I saw that you already noticed that. I taught art for 32 years and one of my students' favorite projects was to create op art. Fantastic photos. You've create your own op masterpieces with these.
How great that you are teaching in Mexico. I taught English in Brazil for several years ---40 years ago. I plan to visit some of my former students on my first trip back to Brazil later this year.
Check out my shadows this week HERE.
amazing. like all your versions too.
Thanks for all the great comments this week...much appreciated..
Wonderful! These are great shadow shots. Happy SSS!
Whoa! Makin' me dizzy. I can't tell what is real and what is shadow. I really like that about it! Very cool!
Oh wow..Those are great shadow shots. They truly can confuse my eyes.
Marvellous shadow shots - but quite dizzying! Imagine a jigsaw of one of these . . . ;-)
Hi Cassie, Harriet, Jablog and Icy - glad you like the dizzying aspect of these shots...thansks for the comments
Wow these shots are stunning and yes very Bridget Riley (who I love!) You should frame these they look so striking.
Wow! That is quite an amazing shadow shot! So artistic, as if it was planned.
I LOVE these. And to think they were there in your neighbourhood ready for you to snap!
Sorry I only just saw these now, but I'm glad I did! Those are fantastic shots, they should be hanging in a museum somewhere :)
Well found and captured!
