Shadow Sunday: Half a Swede
I was waiting for our transport home to arrive when I noticed something in the road. I think it is half a swede. How it got there I don't know. It possibly fell out of someone's shopping bag as they were crossing the road. I fully expected it to get squashed by the tyre of a car, but several passed by and it survived. The shadow of a bus stop sign and a hanging basket were prominent so I thought I'd photograph it for today's post and here is the result. Our transport arrived very shortly afterwards and what happened to it later is something I don't know.

I fully expected to find a fully grown Swede lying about - until I remembered that Swede in English has several meanings...
ReplyDeleteA swede :D
ReplyDeleteI'm happy it didn't got smashed :)
plus the half a swede has the tiniest shadow ever to add to the others in this lovely shot!! I like the patterns you are creating with ordinary English streets...
ReplyDeleteGreat shot - I wonder if the person who dropped the swede retraced their steps to find it! Lovely sunny day you had there.
ReplyDeleteNice of the swede to draw your attention to the shadow. I had to look it up, though, as an American I had no idea that a swede is a rutabaga and not a person from Sweden.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely shot! Very creative and I learned about something new!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

Lovely mingling of shadow shapes in this photo! And love the story behind the event!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, but I find it quite sad tho.
ReplyDeleteToo funny ;--)
ReplyDeleteLove your shadows and your sense of humor. Hmmm ... until I read RuneE's and Martha's comments, methunk you were making a joke about a person. Live and learn!
I shared Plumeria shadows at Happily Retired Gal and 'doggy shadows' at Small Reflections this week.
Hugs and blessings,
