The courtyard of my posada in Cuetzalan was perfectly pretty and pleasing during the day...
but a little more spooky and threatening at night under the floodlights......
Why was the courtyard floodlit?? Because we were watching the Quetzal dancers, of course, whirling about on their wooden frame at breakneck speeds....
If the wonderful world of the culture of Cuetzalan is a little out of your reach today distance-wise, then why not nip over to Shadow Shot Sunday for some fascinating photography....

Love those courtyard shadows....oh to be sitting there and taking it all in!
Love that quirky paint job on that apartment building below as well - too fun!
Oh, I do love wrought iron shadows and yours are fantastic! Love those whirling ones in your last shot! Looks like fun! Have a great weekend, Catherine!!

Spooky & threatening ? There weren't any of those dolls hanging around in the shadows, having escaped from their island ?
The spinning contraption with the dancers on it looks like a surefire way to lose one's lunch ! Hopefully they didn't ?
:-)
Like this courtyard shadow very tropical to me. happy Sunday
Shadodw Shot Sunday
Love these shadows especially the palm branches! Most interesting day or night!
You sure do find some amazing shadows! The ironwork shadows are so elegant.
Such elegant shadow shots!
Wonderful shadows, even at night when the margaritas are flowing...yummm...
I love the gentle, romantic, graceful shadows of the first picture of your posada courtyard contrasted with the second more ornate and passionate night shot.
Did someone say "margaritas"?
Pretty courtyard shadows! I get a little dizzy looking the still photo of those Quetzal dancers. :D
I love the sweeping graceful shadows of the day shot
and then the strong lines of the night shadows
lovely!
The wrought iron furniture is ornate and highly styled. Therefore, the shadows are created in this likeness. To sit under the sun while sitting on the patio feel quite relaxing...
I love your shadow shots, they are fantastic.
Your shadows are great but the capture of the dancers is spectacular.
Those are fantastic shadow shots and I especially love the courtyard shadows the best. Thanks for sharing, Catherine. Have a great Sunday.
I don't find your wrought iron shots spooky at all - I think they are absolutely beautiful. And how I'd love to see the Quetzal dancers - they look so exciting.
Such lovely and intricate shadows you've captured. That dance routine looks wild! What fun!
