Love this collection of abstract shadows.
These aren't quite shadows..and not quite as abstract - but with very little sun these days..it's the closest I've got:

Love this collection of shadows, I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite.

Here's one of mine.

Nothing better than GRANDBABIES!! One of my earliest pictures. One of my favorites. Thanks for featuring shadows.

Shadows are my new-found love. I can't stop taking photos of these fleeting, ethereal subjects.

Here is my Flickr set devoted to my latest obsession:

and a blog post (plus a haiku!) about my attraction to shadow subjects:

Shadows can add so much to a photograph (and also totally distract if you're not careful).

Love these! I caught one yesterday during a shoot at the Baha'i temple just outside of Chicago.

Here's one from me. I've started photographing like 6 months ago and since then I'm amused how many things I hadn't seen before. I'm not really proud of this one, but it is a good example of noticing shadow:)
