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.

GALLERY LINKS FOR SMUGMUG FRIENDS - 2020 version

2020 version – in progress, but largely completed. In a couple of cases temporary links are supplied until more specific ones for 2020 become available. I’ve started the 2020 caption by erasing all the links to galleries that are specific for 2019. I’ll do my best to find the 2020 equivalent galleries for those people who start a new ‘daily’ gallery each year and add them to my caption as soon as possible. If I get your link wrong, or miss it, or you want any other modification to your listing, please let me know. Here are links to our ad hoc group of regular comments and photo posters. When active daily photo galleries could be found, those are the links provided. Otherwise links to home pages of ‘newest’ or ‘recent’ galleries or folders are given. This image will remain in my ‘Day’s Uploads’ gallery for easy reference. Feel free to copy the list of links to your own files and/or pages. IF YOU WANT TO BE ADDED or REMOVED FROM THE LIST, or want your entry edited, leave a comment to that effect below.

OBSOLETE - GALLERY LINKS FOR SMUGMUG FRIENDS - 2019 version

2019 version This version of my 'find a friend' image will remain in place until I've successfully updated the caption for my 2020 version. In that version, for each person (friend) who routinely starts a new 'daily' gallery each year, the link will remain blank until I can find the new 2020 gallery for that person. For people who use the same gallery from year to year, the old (2019) links have been carried over to the 2020 caption. Here are links to our ad hoc group of regular comments and photo posters. When active daily photo galleries could be found, those are the links provided. Otherwise links to home pages of ‘newest’ or ‘recent’ galleries or folders are given. This image will remain in my ‘Day’s Uploads’ gallery for easy reference. Feel free to copy the list of links to your own files and/or pages.
