Dodging the shadows in Tokyo

Regardless of how much we try and ignore it, staying ahead of the shadows is sadly all too temporary.

      Thanks. Took one too early, but fortunately this came out just about right.

    Fascinating things, shadows. The lady appears to be almost suspended in the shadow.
    This photograph reminds me of “The Charwoman’s Shadow” by Lord Dunsany. A young woman has been given an old woman’s shadow that casts its form upon her. When she is reunited with her own shadow she returns to being a young woman again. I now have to decide whether to fight my way into the attic or buy the book again on my e-reader 🙂

      Aren’t they? Sometimes a help, other times a hinderance.

      Into the attic I say. You might find some other books you fancy re-reading.

    Excellent moment you registered; nice and optimistic.
    I like your use of space in this photo: by leaving all the brightly lit empty space on the right in this photo, you give meaning to it, IMO. 🙂

      Thank you! I liked the sense of her moving into the light. Glad you think it works too.
