SMaSh - Weaving Among the Shadows

Hello, everyone! 😎 📷

After a few weeks, I've collected some photos of shadows, and now I'm ready to share them with the Shadow Hunters community. Everyone is welcome to showcase their shadow photos here and join the contest for rewards.

The Shadow Hunters Contest (SMaSh - Show Me a Shadow) on the Hive Blockchain is one of the oldest contests, having run for almost 8 years (maybe someone can correct me?), and consistently rewards outstanding entries. If that isn’t proof of trust, what is?

You can read more (and read carefully) about the rules and conditions of participation in this contest here. https://ecency.com/@melinda010100/shadow-hunters-community-smash-contest-5ce2bb6e8e66a

Enjoy the shadows!

Wherever I am, on these sunny and sweltering days, whether I want to or not, I find myself weaving through the shadows, hiding from the sun, and then taking a few photos. We were here visiting my mother and later my wife’s parents; while I was waiting for coffee, I went outside into the heat. The shadows of the roses, the shadows of the fences, and then off to the store with a shopping cart.

Here’s my Atos, resting on the terrace in front of the trailer. It’s 40°C under the roof, but it doesn’t bother him :)

📷 😎 📷

The railing on the bridge over the stream, one of the entrances to the town park, where I walk Atos almost every day. The shadow of the railing in the Bistrica Stream. Here’s another interesting fact—we never run out of water here. No one can remember anything like that ever happening. Beneath the town—or rather, beneath the entire valley, which is a karst field—there are underground freshwater lakes—drinking water that flows from beneath Snežnik toward the Škocjan Caves and then continues on to flow into the sea in Italy. The local water supply system is connected to this, as are water supply lines to Croatia—Rijeka, Opatija—and toward the Slovenian coast—Koper.

📷 😎 📷

And now, the shadows in the park. I let Atos lead the way as he pleases; he usually chooses the usual route, while I capture the shadows with my camera. They’re always different—especially as the day goes on; at 10 a.m., the shadows cast by the trees are different from those at noon. From shadow to shadow, we make our way, avoiding the sun.

The town park is small—about 2 by 2 kilometers—crisscrossed with paths and benches, and home to over 100 different species of trees and shrubs, but now we’ve reached the end, the other entrance, where I usually stop if I see someone I know. There’s a bocce court and a cozy café with a large, shaded terrace. And some shade, of course.

That's all for today. Thank you for your attention. I'll be back when I've gathered some shadows again :)

The interplay of light and delicate foliage patterns against the textured wall creates a beautifully artistic display.

Every captured shadow is ingenious!

mimster :

Wow, loads of beautiful shadow captures. Atos is feeling the heat but not much he can do about it but lie on his stomach for comfort from the floor. I hope he drinks more water. 🦮✨

uyoho :

So many shadow scenes.

christybliss :

Many amazing shadows, beautifully taken. The pictures are good ones.

melinda010100 :

An excellent collection of Shadow photos! It would be impossible to pick a favorite, but I always love the Atos photos best!
