Leven Thistle for the SMASh

avatar

Hello Hello Hivians

I was out doing some business in one of our local towns up the coast called Leven, when I spotted this gate. Well to be honest I spotted the thistle shadow in the ground!

Of course, shadow hunting popped into my head! So I took a couple more pictures for you to see.

Bigger version, but it seems a bit to blurry... What do you think?

Next up we have the shadow of the thistle as well as the shadow of the gate itself.

Could be a contender but it is upside down!

Here we have the whole gate with it's shadow beneath it.

I like this, but it is in portrait, so perhaps not my first choice after all.

But now, decisions, decisions, decisions!

Yes it's that time for me to choose my entry picture!

So here 👇👇👇 is my entry for Show Me A Shadow - Round 442

There was a few to choose from. Mind you, I think I was elimating them as I went along!

So the first one wins for me, it shows it all in the correct orientation and is landscape format as well!

What do you think? Did I pick the suitable one, or would you have chosen another one?

The intricate detail of the thistle design cast upon the pavement makes for a wonderful observation.

Those are some great shadow shots. It made me think about a way that I used to want to do taking everyday objects that look like letters and spelling out our last name with them.
