A strange shadow and its source
I noticed the strange round shape (shadow & its reflection) after I had photographed the general scene of the pruned evergreen, the source of the shadow, and the red chairs and red bridge.
It was getting late in the day and I was in a hurry to photograph some other parts of the gardens before I lost the light. I regretted, after the fact, not getting a shot that showed more clearly the connection between the evergreen and its shadow.
It was mere happenstance that I found myself in the right place at the right time of day to see the shadow and its reflection as a nearly perfect circle.

13 hours agoHow very peculiar, makes for a really fascinating capture. Fortunately you were able to solve the mystery, otherwise we may have had to look for a more extraterrestrial solution to the strange shadow's source. :)
I don't see anything posted from you today and I am pretty sure you are caught in the same storm we are enduring, hope you are okay? And haven't lost your power... we are through the worst of it safely, but I think not so for you.

16 hours agoGreat shot. It shows how shadows can become greatly distorted and knowing how to use them is an important part of photography.
