A lovely, old, dilapidated Art Deco apartment block in Melbourne draped in the bare winter branches and twigs of a tree. I love the weak mid - winter light here - the colour of the sunshine in Melbourne is very different I always feel.
For more amazing shadows from all over the globe (really and truly!) please go to Tracy's glorious Hey Harriet blog. Tracy is actually the master brain behind Shadow Shot Sunday and invites everyone to join in the shady shadow shot Sunday fun every week. Here are the instructions on how to enter!
Hope everyone is having a super weekend!
Winter - what's that?! :)
Happy SSS from Casa!

Oh, great shadow shots for the day, Sam! You can surely feel/see the winter sunlight! Have trouble realizing that we're creeping up on the end of our summer here in the northwest! Wow, time flies whether you're having fun or not!!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

That is wonderfully stunning detail on the facade. The modernist 'columns' look stately in an artistic way, balanced by the script of the iron sign over the entry. A nice art-deco touch would be if the script were made of neon. Such detailing we do not see in the new buildings, so a great capture of the Liege!

Lovely Shadows on a beautiful old building. Why did my eye go to what looks like blue graffiti immediately? I guess it gets the attention the "artist" desires. (I could be wrong...my eyesight is failing.)

A lovely shadowy find in Melbourne! I like the addition of the blue grafitti too! The light is sweet and I totally get what you mean about the sunlight being a different colour.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend Sam. Your LONG weekend! Oooh how nice it will be for you to sleep in on a Monday :)
Those crabs on my blog are soldier crabs I think. That's what I've been told anyway. One of the many varieties.
