Shadow Shot Sunday

It`s that time of the week when shadow shots are shared here.  I`ve missed Shadow Shot Sunday for a couple of weeks now and I`m keen to get back.  September is sewing month and so I`ve hardly used my camera.  I miss that too.  During the summer months I did no sewing but snapped away continuously.  Now the tables have been turned,  I seem unable to do the two together.  It`s either or.

I took this photo at the Majorelle Gardens a year or so ago.  When you come to visit..and you must, I insist, you`ll love your trip to Yves. Saint Laurent`s gardens.  They are an oasis.

The shadows are subtle but they are there.  There may even be a frog...if you look carefully.

Shadow Shot Sunday - Under the Shade

I took this photo at a local cafe in Marrakech. I don`t like leaving a cafe and feeling ripped off. I had that feeling leaving this one. I`ll vote with my feet. I won`t be going back again. However, the shade provided some pretty shadows and I feel better for that. At least they couldn`t charge for the shadows.

For more shots of a shadowy nature head on over to Tracy`s.

Shadow Shot Sunday - Ouiskra

 a couple of years ago
the people of Ouiskra in the Atlas Mountains
celebrated their new school house..

..and the school bags and supplies donated for the 5 year olds so that they may go to school

and the village getting connected to mains electricity

it was a day for clapping and dancing...and drumming

Shadow Shot Sunday - Beer Beach

Beer Beach, Devon

Beer Beach, Devon

As I fantasize about cooler climes, that`s exactly where I`m taking you for this week`s shadows. Beer Beach in Devon is where I spent a glorious hour in May with my mum and Zaki - the sun shone, it was warm but not too warm, we ate locally produced ice-cream and sat on the shingle beach looking out to sea. 

For more images of Beer Beach, I first blogged about it here.

Shadow Shot Sunday - Summer Evening Cycling

The only time it`s possible at the moment to cycle on a shiny red bike (with one flat tyre) is in the evening. Otherwise it`s just too hot. Linking up as usual with Tracy at Hey Harriet.

Shadow Shot Sunday - The Plastic Bottle Rycycler

A donkey`s life is not always an easy one but this lucky one has a light load of empty plastic bottles. I am delighted to see last week`s Shadow Shot Sunday image included in the `Shadow Gallery` over at Tracey`s Hey Harriet and linking up there again.

Shadow Shot Sunday - Our New Front Door

A couple of weeks ago we moved house and this is our new front door. It has steps up to it and I love the shadows cast by the railings.

Shadow Shot Sunday #3

I know, it`s subtle but there is little sunlight today, it`s raining (I love the rain) and the house is dark..what`s more, I think artichokes win any beauty competition in the vegetable world.

I was super excited to see last week`s entry here made this week`s shadow gallery over at Hey Harriet where you can see great shadow shots.

Shadow Shot Sunday #1 - 5 O`Clock Shadow

This photo really was taken at 5 o`clock today in Essaouira, Morocco.

It`s my first entry for Shadow Shot Sunday, which I first saw last weekend on Diane`s blog Random Thoughts  - Do or `Di`.  When I checked out the blog Hey Harriet, which conceived of the idea for readers to each Sunday post a photo showing shadow, I was excited to read that it was inspired by the light and shade photos on blog The House in Marrakesh, which is written by my lovely real life friend (yes I do have them) Elizabeth Wix!  What a small world we live in.  I know Elizabeth from when she lived with her artist husband Robert in the medina (the old town) of Marrakech until she left to live in New York  in 2008.  We belonged to the same book club. She is a writer, an artist, a photographer and generally multi-talented.  Check out her other blogs, here (photographic essays of Elizabeth`s observations of life in Manhatten) and here ( Buster, her dog`s blog). Also don`t forget to check out the great photos on Hey Harriet and perhaps get your camera out and post your own entry!
