A SHORT POST ABOUT SHADOWS, LIGHT AND SOME REFLECTIONS IN MY ROOM

avatar

An hour or two ago, while resting on my bed after a heavy, tasty lunch, I was reminded of how sometimes relaxed, lazy moments can unexpectedly lead to valid posting ideas :)

It's a hot summer day, I was just daydreaming in the gloomy room with the blinds down ... almost entirely down ... and at one point, with my eyes glued to the ceiling, I noticed the shadows created by those blinds.

That kind of woke me up, so I followed the shadows as they were spreading on various surfaces. Temporarily decorated through the interplay of shadows and light, the door of this clothing filled closet looked much better than usual

There is an old traffic sing at the top of the closet covered with cobwebs and a thick layer of dust. I had a hobby some decades ago. :) Just couldn't resist to take or steal a traffic sign if I had the opportunity. I found plenty of them, slightly damaged, thrown by the road ... they always looked kind of forgotten and free to take. I had various local directional road signs with names of my hometown and surrounding villages on them. Furthermore, I had "no parking", "one way street" and a lovely "STOP" sign of course. I gave them away through time, as my traffic - mania was cooling down, to people who found them cool. Only this one, with a number on it, somehow remained in my place ... and today :) it looks cool mixed with a shadow pattern.

In another closet, on the opposite side of the room, I noticed a well lit area on the back of the dark blue suit that I didn't wear from who knows when. This looked like a great place for a little shadow play.

My hand looked pretty creepy and very effective on this shot. I'm very satisfied and pleasantly surprised with this photograph that started like pure fun with no ambition to make something memorable.

I took a few more similar shots ...

... with the hand as the main protagonists ... and then ...

... I noticed the reflection of my PC screen in the window.

When I thought that the inspiration is almost over, when I decided to sit in front of the computer and start working on some other stuff, while walking to my blue chair, I noticed that the blue Christmas ball on the ceiling reflects stuff ...

... so I took this final selfie, with which the post will end.

*As always in these posts on HIVE, the photographs are my work - THE END. *

Didn't know that! Why only so recent posts? I mean, it's only a matter of higher or lower rewards or something more problematic?

I will try to explain in details what I know, what I have understood, but let me do it later. i will not forget about doing this. the thing is a bit tricky cant explain in 2 words. yes, its lower rewards for curator (author of the post curated is not getting any penalty). its 12:00 and I just came home from the office... further COMMENTS WILL be produced much later

No problem. :) Write it when you can ... but if it's only about rewards, is not a big deal ... I mean, it's not to me, because when it comes to upvotes I don't care much about the rewards. I like to have a relaxed social media experience, so I upvote what I like, when I like, and often is not only about content but also about people that are becoming virtual friends after all this time here ... I rely on posting every day to get Hive, Hive power and all that valuable stuff :D that's my tactic ... creating posts is the work part, and upvoting is just fun.

You look very funny reflected in the Christmas ball, it looks like one of those Furutista films, or those in which the protagonist says: I have lived many years, I don't know why it is the phrase I hear the most in current films. It really gets annoying, well the Christmas ball gave you inspiration, I hope those who direct the movies are inspired by something different.

:D True, that shallow phrase makes the protagonist (or villain) sound pretentious ... I heard it also many times in films ... and read it sometimes in not very good novels.
