City Daily Photo Theme Day: Shadows

The first day of each month is a theme day for members of City Daily Photo. For June, that theme is Shadows. Take a look at how others are interpreting the theme right here. 

I begin today with some shots from my current series on the Tulip Festival, here in Ottawa. I took this shot of a bed at Dow's Lake; shadow was cast over much of the bed.

A short walk beyond, in a bed not so densely planted, the shadows of the tree above provided shade to this set of tulips.

I had another version of this some days ago. The Man With Two Hats is a statue by Dutch artist Henk Veert. Here we have the cyclist walking into the shadow of the statue.

When I went over to the Gatineau side of the Ottawa River on a trip to take in the tulips, I noted the soft shadow of the wall and the trees on the sidewalk.

I took another shot of the shadow of a street light on the road.

Stopping in at the Canadian Museum of History, I took advantage of the architecture and the shadows cast by the curatorial wing.

On another day, I took this shot close to home. Motorbikes and their shadows outside a government complex.

Out in Nepean, I decided to take this shot of the shadow of a tree on the roadway.

On Parliament Hill late one afternoon a few days ago, I came for more shadows. I was standing in the shadows of the east side of West Block for this one.

I looked at Centre Block, and noticed a shadow from part of the building cast onto the Peace Tower.

Coming around the north side of West Block, I took this shot of a doorway now in shadow.

And on the west side, a statue of Prime Minister Robert Borden cast its own shadow in the late sunlight.

And now for something completely different, as the Pythons would say. I finish with something from home- the score album for the 90s film The Shadow, by Jerry Goldsmith.
