Strong shadows on "The Railway" public house which stands next to Romiley Station near Stockport on the line from Sheffield to Manchester.
I like how the furled England flag casts a bird-like shadow. This was taken a few weeks ago before we were dumped out of the World Cup.
For more shadows shots this Sunday visit Hey Harriet.
You are right about the shadow to the right - I see a parrot sitting on a perch in the wall. Not at all like its subject, this shadow is lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a fun one, Gerald! I see a parrot, too! What a great one for the day! Have a lovely weekend!

When I first saw the shadow I looked for the bird. Ha! So it's the flag's shadow? Excellent, Gerald!
ReplyDeleteA delightful 'bird' shadow on your watering hole. Nice steam train too.

What a great shadow, it does look like a parrot.
ReplyDeleteEven though it looks like a parrot, it reminds me of Wallace Stevens' poem Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird. "I don't know which to prefer. The beauty of inflections, or the beauty of innuendos. The blackbird whistling, or just after."
ReplyDeletei immediately thought 'bird' too...before reading your post. lovely shadow....
