This is a post for Smash contest ~ Round 265
It was a while since I posted last time to this community...
So: 'Hi!' again. I invite you to walk along the alleys and back streets of St.Petersburg on a sunny day - we will surely find one or two shadows if we look carefully around.
Meander's shadow
Just a pigeon shepherd grazing his flock on the lawn while having fun on his smartphone... trivia! but look at all the luxurious patterns of shadows around him.
A full 'shadow tree' growing here...
Walking thru this alley along the palaces, I was really enchanted with this scene of a tree, complete shady tree cast at the different parts of the building.
Looked so appealing to me, that I stopped to take several doubles.
"Russian Greyhound" is an elite type of dog that I occasionally meet on the streets, and which invariably leads me to admiration. (In my opinion, they are rather hard to keep, as they were breed for speed and require a lot of active walking).
A street musician, playing accordion. I saw him several times sitting at the same spot, and playing invariably one hit song - 'Kalinka'. I took several portrait shots (they are simply heartbreaking! or bleeding...) and the last one, focused specifically on the shadow it casted.
The next one I was tremendously excited of and almost jumping when I noticed it.
I'm sure it could make a great entry for "guess the shadow" contest - most likely no one could guess that its a swing's shadow. In fact, we have here some kind of exclusive, creative DIY stuff... I have never seen such a swing and did not even suspect this is possible... and, of course, it provides a pretty exclusive shade -- to me looks like some kind of a fairy snake. What will you say, mates? how do you feel about it? (of course, theres always a possibility nobody is reading at all, just slide in a fast mode thru the gallery...)
A bit funny and and unexpected result. Here I was actually photographing a monument to an angel, and another photographer's shadow got into the frame; in the photo - it looks like he is trying to catch this dove (or at least his shadow). A funny accident that formed the frame! I love such coincidences...
Shady family is what we have here... A gang, lol!

Man, those are some awesome shadows, the accident one is so nice where the shadow of the photographer is trying to hold the dove.
I wonder what they use to make that swing? are they just a big rope which usually used in boats?
Love the golden color of those shots, so warm.

just a big rope which usually used in boats, I guess so. not sure why it has this flattened-bar shape instead of cylindrical, like a regular rope ( maybe this was done with a press?...) Anyway, cool find it was indeed. Thank you for stopping by and sharing love. Sadly, I am already out of hive pizza already but have !BEER in the fridge! 🍻
maybe it is because it has been used so many times, so it flattens overtime.
it is ok, I really appreciate the beer. have a great day my friend

These are pretty epic! I'm as enamoured by some of the subjects as much as the shadows. Trees make fantastic shadows, as does the dog! Dogs might be my favourite things of all time, and that greyhound looks pretty pleased.
oh! I did not know that. I happily managed to take another pic of this hound, really 'nailed an ultimate moment' (almost like Cartie-Bresson) ... pretty funny... I will not tell what it is, but definitely will share it soon under the #streets label. do check :D
Have a Hive !BEER back, and thankyou for such a pleasurable comment. 🙏 Glad you liked the visuals!

Oh my dear friend! Everyone of these is a winner! What a delightful shadow photo post.
Fairy snake seems a perfect description. I might have said strange caterpillar, but your imagination is better!

new day - new !PIZZA arrived 😘🍕🍕
ты активизировался, времени больше появилось? с работой все в порядке?
зима кончилась, я опять гуляю. и световой день вырос!
работа пока на месте, но продажи падают.
"всех уволить" на горизонте пока еще не показалось... 😂
ты тоже знатный мастер - посты ежедневно!
это уже вошло в привычку)
а чего увольнять-то) еще пригодитесь. лето впереди жеж, должны вырасти
дык как бы не вышло, что людЯм не книжки нужны будут, а совсем даже другие весчи.. я уж не буду намекать конкретнее. чтоб не пугать. 😨
Amazing shadow capture, thank you friends for sharing with us.
Grazie Mille! Join this cool challenge sir. 👍
I'll join soon but I'm still confused about what's interesting to catch.
Any shadows a way to go. Ofc if you can find something more enigmous and elegant or bizarre forms, that would be more cool. Just look around well! Cheers 🙏
Thanks for the input mate, I'll try it.
