Theme Day: Shadows

I spotted these shadows on the Central Avenue side of the Phoenix Art Museum two weeks ago and knew then that I had to go back to get a photo. The shadows come from the late afternoon sun and a row of palm trees that line both sides of Central Avenue in this area. It’s a work of art created by nature.

    I used to have an office in a high rise across the street that gave me a view down on the Art Museum and I saw the shadows of the palm trees on the facade many times. Thank you for capturing a photo of them.

    I also have a photo of the shadows of palm trees today, only the shadows are cast on a beach rather than a building.

    I used to live in Phoenix, and though it was hot, I miss the sun. I used to climb Squaw Peak daily when the heat permitted. I really, really like this photo.

    How effective this is. And not seeing the trees makes it even more special somehow. Super shot.

    And captured by you so we could enjoy it, too. Thank you.

    That's a nice theme day shot! I like the way you can only see the shadows and not the trees.
