This week's shadow shot all started with a yellow bus parked in the shade on my street Rio Panuco. I quite liked the detailed patterns of leaf shadows against the bright yellow paintwork...
It led me to remembering some bright yellow walls and topiary shadows in another part of Mexico City....
Which in turn led me to remember some other bright yellow walls in the nearby village of Tepoztlan...
and finally to a wall in San Miguel de Allende which had been turned into a cinema screen emblazoned by a glorious sunset.....
I hope you have enjoyed blazing the yellow trail with me, which happens to match the glorious summer sunshine we have been enjoying here in Mexico City this week. Not just a feast of shadow shots but a veritable banquet, and there are more over at sumptuous Shadow Shot Sunday. Enjoy!! What colour has been on your mind this week??

Love you shadow pics. I just ran across this, Using Shadows to Create Street Art: http://www.thisblogrules.com/2009/11/using-shadows-to-create-street-art.html#
Waiting there for us—
magical, mystical bus—
where will it take us?
Shadowy descanso
...i am warming myself with your pictures...love the brillant yellows. ours is a sea of gray today...so thanks for your sunny post!!
The yellow is such a bold and rich canvas for complex and beautiful shadows. The fiery sky is of elegant shadows with a brilliant goldenrod hue. Nice!
WoW! I love all that yellow! A very happy color and blessed with shadows for all of us to soak in.
Always love your shadow shots and the warm, yellow colors are fantastic! And, of course, you brought back lovely memories of San Miguel de Allende!! Have a great weekend, Catherine!

I did enjoy blazing the yellow trail with you!! Yellow totally offsets the shadows. (I LoVe what Ralph had to say...if I could have,I would have said the same thing!!) Very cool Shadow Shots.
Nice, strong, powerful shots...
Happy SSS from Casa, Morocco!

Lovely shadows in the yellow theme! ;)
I am back - just had to see your wonder shots again.
The shadows look great on yellow. We could use a bit of your Mexican warmth right now. Would you believe it is snowing in May?
What a wonderful collection of awesome shadows!

That yellow bus is super cute! I love yellow. It's such a happy colour. Have a great week :)
Fabulous...sunset cinema and all others so brilliantly displayed, you really had fun with this one!
I loved touring the shots below...thanks for sharing!!!
It's hard to take shadow shots without letting the shadows overshadow the subject (how many times can I use the word shadow in a sentence?). Great job on these photos!
Ah que lindo amarillo! Color is always on my mind and this week, I've worn a lot of my favorite vivid violet hue.
What a wonderful set of comments this week - thanks so much - very much appreciated as always...
