Shadow Shot Sunday:
Bridge over the River Goyt


I was taking some photographs yesterday afternoon of the Carrington Road bridge over the River Goyt at Stockport. My vantage point was a footbridge that runs almost parellel to the road bridge.

It wasn't until later that I realised how the low afternoon sun had cast a shadow of the footbridge and myself onto the parapet of the road bridge.

In case you are wondering, that's my shopping trolley by my side.

Posted as a contribution to Shadow Shot Sunday and also Sunday Bridges.

  4. I'm torn between focusing on your shadow on the footbridge and the almost ominous shadow on the water under the bridge. Quite an interesting shot!

  7. I saw the shadows beneath the bridge before I saw yours on the bridge. I like all of them!

    WHEN YOU SEE THE SHADOWS DANCE

    When you see the shadows dance,
    Be it Mexico or France,
    You may join the shadow fun,
    Dancing till the day is done!

  8. A finer way to do a self-portrait :-)
    It fitted the photo very well, though.
