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.

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome capture. I love it when you end up with a nice little surprise package on your computer screen.Your are DEFINITELY in the shot. I agree with Catherine....this shot is full of images to look at and to think about. gene
ReplyDeleteI love the colour change in the bricks.
ReplyDeleteSo many levels of shadow, reflection and reality! And lovely lighting!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteCool shot!
ReplyDeleteYou really did good on this shadow shot. I think it is neat showing you and the cart. Makes it more personal.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome capture!
ReplyDeleteCome find out the origin of my shadow last week.
I saw the shadows beneath the bridge before I saw yours on the bridge. I like all of them!
ReplyDeleteWHEN 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!
