Shadow Shots: I Followed The Fence

Yes, we're still at Highlands, NJ. I told ya I took a ton of photos.

I came off the boardwalk ...



and I walked - uh - limped - well I schlepped over to one of the side streets

where I became fascinated by this fence ...



the fence led me to this ...



it was worth the trip

Love the shot of the second fence, the texture of the composition just screams antiquity to me!

Follow the boardwalk,
someone has built it for you—
but where does it lead?

Your choice of shadows:
Stony Shadows
Deluge of darkness

Some beautiful, sharp shadows, Dianne. Why are you limping?

Patti said...

The old fence leaves an interesting shadow, broken down thought it may be.

Good thing you schlepped over to the side street and found that great photo number 3.

Happy shadow seeking this week, Dianne.

Great shadow shots - the sun must have been very bright :-)

All great shadows, and interesting how the shapes are repeated in the last one.

All of your shadow shots are quite nice. I have a soft spot for walkways and yours is lovely.

Great shadow shots. Really love the fence shot. I hope you're having a fun time. Are you with your son DIL and Hope?

Ralph said...

I enjoy the fences with their horizontal vs. vertical motifs. The shadows likewise follow the directional themes. No matter what fence you followed, they led to a beautiful shadow. Horizontal or vertical - either way, you captured a fine set of shadows!

I love that center photo, Dianne! It's beautiful--and intriguing. I imagine it to be an old fence around an old, old graveyard. You would come across those from the 1600s and 1700s in New England while walking in the forest. Nothing but forest and an old graveyard with a fence like this one around it sometimes.

Some more great ones, Dianne.
I miss visiting. Hope I get this computer thing solved soon!

The more modern fence and rail to the picket which is awesome.
The last one jolted me a little. I guess we're still close to Easter week. :)

Ooops ... looks like the spammer hit here too! I don't understand why folks do this kind of thing. Anyway ... this Shadow Shot series is WONDERFUL. Loved the photo of Isadora and Siren in a standoff over the toys ... and the amazing capture of 'the Diva' in the tree. The light is wonderful! Kewl ruby capture in the unusual ladder outside the restaurant too.
Hugs and blessings,
