Near 10th Avenue/ShadowShot



For lots of cool shadowshots go to Heyharriet here.




As I was walking down 23rd Street between 10th and
 11th Avenues, I came upon these nice quiet stones.



Noon. Saturday.

  1. I love the simple greyish quality of colour here, and the darker vertical trunk of a young tree surrounded by the pebbles. An oriental touch here as opposed to the usual busy plant look.

  2. Quiet stones and a shadowy walkway all in monochrome! So very beautiful!

  4. Lovely noon Saturday shadows! I much prefer sweet quiet stones to those pesky noisy rock types ;D

    Have a wonderful Sunday Elizabeth!

  6. Very nice shots. It looks so pretty. Use to work on 23rd, but Fourth Ave..
    Happy SSS.

  7. Shadows mean sunshine, which is always nice and dappled shade also. All we seem to be having at the moment is rain and more rain.

  8. There is a lovely poem which starts something like
    Glory be to God for
    dappled things. Not sure who it is by - have a feeling it might be Manley Hopkins - but it sprang to mind when I saw your dappled shadowing Elizabeth - I must look it up. (although some bloggy pal might tell us if we wait a day or two.)

  9. Where shadows gather
    on 23rd Street is where
    my heart longs to be.

  15. Zen garden-ish. Nice neutral colors, dappled shadows and smooth rocks.

  16. How very zen like, so restful, I'd walk there too...they almost look like bamboo shadows.

  18. Not only did I like your shots, but this particular phrase went down a treat, too: '23rd Street between 10th and 11th Avenue'. That's how we give directions in Cuba. Rarely heard in GB.

    Many thanks.
