A Cold Bath

 

When I first saw this birdbath the sun was out creating a great shadow but by the time I got my camera out a big cloud had covered the sun. I waited a few minutes and was rewarded with these shadows which really highlighted the soft contours of the snow around the bath.

More Shadows

 

This was a contender for my pic for the theme shot of shadows which I showed on Sunday. Palm shadows feel so tropical when our weather here has been anything but tropical.

June Theme: Shadows

 

The June theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is Shadows and I offer this shot of a bench with wonderful shadows created by its shape. I like the bench a lot.

Elephant

 

It has been quite cold here so I was looking for indoor shots and found this cool steel elephant and its nice shadow.

Shadows

 

I have a few indoor palms and a skylight and one morning this week there were wonderful shadows on the floor. It looks rather mysterious to me.

Long Legs

I was playing with the shadows in the late afternoon sun and loved the long legs that showed up.

Art In The Sidewalk

While walking around in the Bloordale neighbourhood I spotted these stainless still inserts in the concrete of the sidewalk. Trying to capture the shine of the pieces proved to be a problem so I had my partner in crime help me to make a larger shadow. It helped a bit I think.

Shadow

This is another bike ring found along Bloor St W in the Bloordale neighbourhood. I loved the shadow it was making on the sidewalk.

May Theme: Shadows

The May theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is Shadows. My entry for Shadows is this steel sculpture that was found in a gallery. I love the shadow of the bird sitting outside its 'house'. I seem to be spotting a lot of shadows lately so will be posting a few more in the days ahead.

Me And My Shadow

A sunny day in winter when there is snow on the ground is wonderful for creating interesting shadows. I like the way the shadows all show as blue in this shot taken during a walkabout around U of T.

The Diver

 I love a good shadow and this is a great one spotted in a gallery. The piece itself is wonderful and the shadow takes it to another level.

Shadow

I spotted this metal plane and its wonderful shadow in a gallery and couldn't resist a shot.

High Shadow

I was in a shop with a skylight high on their ceiling and noticed this shadow of someone standing on the roof deck of the condo building next door. It was a bit startling to see a shadow 25 feet up a wall!

Long Shadows

The shadows are so long at this time of year that it is hard to get yourself out of the pic. Our bikeshare system has recently expanded its area and the new ones seem to be well used most of the time. You can see from all the cyclists in the bike lane along the upper right in this pic that the bicycle has become a major mode of transportation in the city, at least downtown.

Bridge And Shadow

It was actually warm enough last week to sit in a park and eat lunch outdoors in the sun for the first time this year - the temps dropped again for the weekend. It is wonderful seeing all the tender green plants coming up and I loved the shadows playing near this bridge in James Gardens.

Xs Mark The Spot

It was the nice shadows cast by the metal trim that first grabbed my attention for this shot and then I noticed how this opening frames part of the Church Of The Redeemer so well. Shadows can be so fascinating! I'll show you the whole church and its interesting location tomorrow.
