    This is a very classic structure built to last – except for the roof fading away. Yet minus its top, the shadowy artistry moves from the inside out. Timeless in shape and shadow…

    I loved the idea behind this one, and sorry, no: I too enjoy shadows, sometimes, but i don’t know the recipe…yet.

    A photon packet
    Plus a thick, opaque wall makes
    A rich, dark umbra.

    Cheers!

    An interesting, weathered old structure that seems haunted by shadows! Beautiful, creative haiku!

    I am too distracted by the image-wondering what the building was for and why is it in the current state that it is in. Sounds like the recipe should include chocolate though!

    I guess they could be classified either way. My thinking definitely on the dark side.

    I wish I could! Shadows are oddly comforting at times. Well written!

    Great shadow shot. The building reminds me of my Grandparents cellar that we stored potatoes and the vegetables we canned from the garden. It was actually a bomb shelter that my Grandfather had built. The cellar part was underground and had a two room building built on top of it. It was also our storm shelter when the weather got bad.

    Shadows are many things. Shadows can be “blind” spots from the past that pokes you sometime. Shadow of my mind I think there is a song to be called?. Shadow can become rich and sweet by you take a stand in the sunlight and tell you want to be there. Of a sudden when you look through your camera you will see the light comes out and dance and the shadows will be weaker. Am I rambling?? thihi.. sorry then. Some says that the dog is the humans best friend? I say…… Where will I be without my camera? (I know when I was 11 years old I would be a photographer)
