Vignette Wednesday - Dark Shadows
No, not the gothic soap opera that aired on ABC from 1966 -1971. These are shadows cast on a garden path. The patterns on these large pavers created by the shadows of the nearby plants added another dimension to the path.

Love it, Peter! Sometimes the shadows add another dimension to the impact of the plants. I just might have to get one of those shufflers...Scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteOh Anna, scheffleras are exciting evergreens that don't mind growing in the shade; you need one!
DeleteJardin noir.
ReplyDeleteYou manage to avoid any trace of color; a challenge this time of year. Your garden? I didn't remember you having Trachycarpus fortunei. I it casts a beautiful shadow.
Not my garden although I do have Trachycarpus fortunei and it does cast a beautiful shadow!
DeleteGreat shadows! I love them. They add so much drama!
ReplyDeleteAnd we all need more drama in our lives! Glad you enjoyed the photos.
DeleteNice and dramatic! BTW, my wife is a huge Dark Shadows fan -- here's wishing your garden has as long-lasting an impact as that show! :)
ReplyDeleteHow kind of you to wish that. The only thing I remember about the original show is that I didn't get to watch it.
DeleteWonderful shots, Peter! I've tried getting shadows before, and they've never turned out this nice, a kind of chiaroscuro effect. They're kind of spooky, just like that old show.
ReplyDeleteIn person, it seemed like cheerful painting on the stepping stones but we couldn't have that so I played with the images a bit. Spooky is good.
DeleteThere's something quite haunting with those images Peter!
ReplyDeleteShadows can be that way!
DeleteDear "easily amused" Sir
ReplyDeleteI love this black and white vignette of spooky shadows ... every once in a while we need a bit of Halloween injected to our lives so we are not as passive as we are sluggishly wandering our gardens imagining what else we could do to terrorize our plants and some times .. neighbors ?
Things are coming together .. risk of thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight .. we had a power outage last evening with now storms even present .. go figure ?
Your plants do make amazing intricate shadows ... well done shadow school ! LOL
Joy ... wink wink
PS ... I too am a member of the easily amuse school .. I wonder what that says about us ?
It says that we like to laugh. Might as well, otherwise we'd cry!
DeleteI love love love these photos!
ReplyDeleteHooray!
DeleteSpooky! I love these.
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid of what lurks in the shadows!
DeleteGreat images.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOooo, good one! A refreshing change of pace. The images spark my curiosity and encourage creativity. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Beth!
DeleteNice shadow shots! I don't find these spooky. I just see cool patterns that evoke the tropics and fireworks.
ReplyDeleteIn the context, they were really happy. Sunny hot day, welcome shade.
DeleteGreat photos, Peter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda!
DeleteI do love some nice plant shadows!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, sister!
DeleteOut of your shadowy past...
