Summer Stock & Shadow Shot Sunday: Late Afternoon

I love the light late on a summer day. When things are winding down and cooling off.



SHADOW SHOTS

SUMMER STOCK

Great set up. Without the glasses, the photo wouldn't work nearly as well. I also like the colors; lots of browns on the bottom. And the sharp angles combined with the trees on top.

Light? Do you mean that stuff the sun is supposed to throw off when it decides to actually show up?? I seem to recall such a thing!

I fear we have had nothing but a lot of rainy days up this way so far and no Spring to speak of at all. Maybe by the time it officially becomes Summer, the sun will have found its way back to New England. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the late light in your picture which has a lovely golden glow!

Great minds think alike! Check out my SSS and you'd see what I mean;)

Love the warm colors and the just-right placement of the sunglasses... Excellent shot, Dianne! :)

cool shot and set up! For some reason, it makes me think of ice tea and the late 1950's.

I scrolled down from the top, and was surprised by the sunglasses. Nice shot.

Oh for a minute I thought 'wow, those glasses are floating on the water'.. but the illusion is due to the pretty light reflecting off the GLASS tabletop!

I agree with the others, the sun glasses make this a perfect shadow shot! Cool post, Dianne, know how busy you have been lately, glad you found a minute to play with the shadows!

What a wonderful golden glow that light is giving, and is that a pool in the background? Great summertime shot!

I have a sunburn - my nose is red - glasses are good - but I need a beach hat :) I a shadow like this one to save me from the sun!

Love the glasses on the table! That is definitely summer. That reminds me, too, that I need to get out shopping for a new patio table. Lost ours last year in a bad storm.

...when things are cooling off and the blistering hot of a 90 degree day is behind you... I agree!
Nice shot!

Nice shot. Multi-level cool. The light does give the cool feel of a late summer afternoon and those are cool glasses casting their shadow.

Patti said...

Ah, yes, the late light. Pre-sunset ;-)

Very cool photo. The sunglasses really add to it.
