This week’s Shadow Shot Sunday is going to be just outright bending the rules into a pretzel. You see, in order to have shadows you must first have SUN. In the absence of sun, though, we’ll give you this: a snow shadow. Yep – if you look, you’ll see the “shadow” of where the angle of the snow left an impression of the tree.
Hope you’ve had (or are having) a wonderful Sunday!

great shot. where were you that you got that angle, in one of those tall buildings?
I love this. I love the colors in the bricks of the building across the way. I love how the the grass seems to spike through the snow, fighting off total cover. But it’s the trees which I love most of all. I love how their branches are each highlighted from the recent snow fall. Wonderful image.
Love the angle on this! Nice capture!
That tree snow ‘shadow’ is tricky. Good observation!
good catch you made sans sun!
Hey…we take what we can get…I like it!

The snow turned everything into a study in contrasts. It’s a really unique photo, especially the way the tree creates motion against the geometry of the urban shapes.
jackie: Yep – in the Psychology building, on the “5th” floor (in the U.S. we’d say it was on the 6th floor, but they start counting here at floor zero).
Alissa Nicolau: Thanks! Yes – the grass is fairly determined, here. I mean, in California the grass would die during the winter, but here it just keeps on growing!
Elle: Thanks! And, yes, it is tricky. What’s strange is that I saw several, going different directions. It wasn’t windy, so much as there must be persistent air currents, so that you can have two trees a block apart, with shadows going in different directions. Strange.
Sandra Ree, Lily, sharon PJ: Thanks!
“Bending the rules into a pretzel” …haha! I like that! This is a truly stunning and unique photo. Love it!
I love this!! It’s almost as thought 2 photos came together to create the perfect scene!!
LOL! I LOVE this “shadow” shot. Thanks for making smile and chuckle.

Love the angle, love the starkness! Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
