It's Shadow Shot Sunday! Above is a pretty, wooden suspension bridge in half shadow. It crosses over Parsley Bay in Sydney which is a particularly lovely part of the world. Below is the view either side of the bridge.
Parsley Bay is a harbour beach and a bay and for these reasons it doesn't have the exciting huge waves you get on the ocean beaches (Bondi, Tamarama, Coogee e.t.c.). Mostly, it's a family beach full of toddlers in floaties and Mums and Dads, people snorkeling or sunbathing and people like us going for a walk. I think it's one of my favourite Sydney harbour beaches!
Shadow Shot Sunday is a Tracy of Hey Harriet initiative! It's tons of fun and it's open to everyone! Here are the instructions and here are some more fabbo shadowy shots from around the world!
The pretty bridge and quiet pace sound very appealing. What a nice place to hunt shadows.

The snaking road. The snaking shadow on the walking bridge. All lead to the same place.

I feel that I am so far removed from the cosmopolitan but very large city of Sydney. The bridge is a walkway to paradise it seems, the rocky coast looks as if it is a world away (from Sydney, that is - it is half a world away from me really :>) The urban landscape here i stunning, a place for contemplation...

What a lovely bridge and beach! I especially love the pattern shadows on the bridge. Looks like a fun place to enjoy the day and explore!

Happy SSS from Casablanca!

We didn't see the bridge when we were in Sydney last year - I guess we'll just have to come back!

Cool shadows. Suspension bridges scare me. I know it's irrational.

Really cool ShadowShots! I would love to go to Austrlia some day. Not sure my bones could take that long air trip though!

Beautiful photos and spot dear Sam! Such a fan of bridges also.

A super shot of the bridge Sam! I've never heard of Parsley Bay and certainly didn't visit the area when I was in Sydney. It looks lovely. I imagine big bunches of parsely growing all over the place! And I also imagine the only people splashing around in that bay at the moment would be tourists :)

Oh, it's so romantic! I love those photos and swimming there would seem poetic, somehow!
