september shadow riddle

I am sharing today a nice city shadow I captured a month ago at St.Petersburg streets. Now we have grey skies and rainy weather and nothing to hunt for, except of wet fallen yellow leaves, haha!

Guess, what it is?
Well, the foto below surely will give you a hint.

I love those beautiful St Petersburg lamp posts and I knew right away where the Shadow was coming from. I don't know about
derzhava, though and must go look that up!

well, ofc you are an expert when it comes to shadow, I have no doubts about that. not every shadow has a unique shape, right? some are quite shapeless.. but this reminded me of this thing, 'derzhava'. if you' d like to google it up, in Russian it is written as 'держава'

@annephilbrick, BINGO! yes, it is. St.Petersburg has a stylish old-fashioned lampposts (well, on the parade streets). and this one turned out really well.

its shadow reminds of a 'derzhava', aka 'emperor's apple' - a regalia of Russian emperors, their sign of power ... but ofc it is clear that this is not a shadow of such a sign (where would it come from, on the street ?!) but a shadow from the lamppost :))

I am not convinced it is great shadowphoto, my eye is not 'fresh' enough, but maybe its more or less nice... glad you enjoyed it!
