...because if you're lucky, you just might have the pleasure of seeing something like this. Oh, yes, it's just a funky sidewalk with rickety bricks along the edge. But, for a few brief moments in the morning that day, I was allowed to witness this treasure.
I love the patterns and the irregularity of the bricks against the red walk and the 'great wall of shadows' that the bricks cast. The compacted sand, pebbles and decaying leaves. I love seeing details like this.
It gives me great joy.
And, I suspect it does you too.

WHEN YOU SEE THE SHADOWS DANCE
When you see the shadows dance,
Be it Mexico or France,
You may join the shadow fun,
Dancing till the day is done!

You found interesting art on the ground, Paula. It's good to look down sometimes! Love this photo.
Have a fun week seeking shadows!
You're a real shadow catcher!
Happy Sunday!
It's quite an "artful" (is that a word?) shot and yes, it does bring me joy. :)
This puzzled me at first, as I perceived the left side of the photo as beinng higher ground, so couldn't see what was casting the shadows. A more concentrated look made me see it the right way round!
There is everything wonderful about the shadows that are 'down there'. The result is imaginative, at least to me - the brick shadows look almost like a shadowy skyline. Or the ivory color keys of a piano. Or...the most basic and prosaic of items are often the ones that have the most artistic merit. Very nice capture and SSS2 post!
yes the colours and textures are great....
Rickety bricks are the best. So much character.
Love this shadow shot,it certainly pays to look down.
Such a great find of cool shadow Paula!
Love this downward perspective! And the marvellous variety of textures, tones and shadows in this photo is fascinating! Good one!
Shadows in the everyday are sometimes the very best! Happy SSS Paula!
You definitely need to keep your eyes going in both directions. I love your SSS presentation.

It's so fun to find those little gems at your feet - beautiful photo!
