shadow Shot Sunday

Snapped this from a moving train, and I thought
I was taking it for the colorful graffiti.  Then I saw
those looong shadows on the frozen lake . . .
[You can see lots more shadows here.]

    Look, a pointy-topped doodad in the middle of nowhere... and I'm happy for your serendipitous shadows, dear Alexa!

    Too cool for school!

    Shell, using doodad and serendipitous in one comment scores extra browny points!

    Long shadows, graffiti, frozen lake, clouds--they all work together for a wonder-filled composition!

    SILLY SHADOW DITTY

    Shadows may or may not be
    Patterns of urbanity.
    If a shadow threatens you,
    Here, my dear, is what to do:
    Grab the shadow by the throat,
    Toss it to a billy goat,
    So the goat can chomp and chew,
    Keeping it away from you!

    Wow...did this ever catch my eye! This photo could have been taken in Serbia...see similar constructions right here.

    There are really many little structures that look like yours, though not necessarily on that site. Very nice shot!

    It must be a fairy-cottage... just so colorful against that landscape of white... The roof appears painted with snow just for your capture!

    Lovely shot-particularly if you took it while you were "whizzing" along on the train.

    Ah! The Massapequa Preserve! I've posted this very same building only not from this spectacular perspective but from the path below that runs along side it.
    How great to see it in the snow!
    Nice catch Alexa.
