Long Shadows at St. Germain en Laye

I went to our book club meeting last night out in St. Germain en Laye ... quite a long trek for me, as I no longer live out that way. However, it was a lovely evening and I had a wander around the park as I arrived a bit early. Instead of the iconic chateau, I give you my shadow! I hope you're not too underwhelmed!

iPhone shot.

And in case you're interested or looking for a new book to read, our book choice last night was 'Blindness' by Jose Saramago. Excellent.

all those straight lines!

[Joyce]

Love the way you've composed this

[Kitty Hawke]

Wow...love those trees.......

[Denise Wood]

Terrific capture :)

[Henri Russell]

Nice long evening shadow.

Saramago is an excellent author. I think your book club and mine read the same novel. I don't know the English translation, but the Dutch title (in English) is "The city of the blinds".

[Margaret Brown]

A nice mellow evening capture!

[Sylvia Binch]

Great lines and pov.

[Kathy]

A fun shot of your shadow self. Plan to look into this novel.

[Issi Bannerman]

@gijsje That'll be the same one. Superb.

[Richard Sayer]

Oh, what long legs you have! The shadows and the rain gutter make an interesting pattern in the foreground.

[Casablanca]

Just waiting for the shadow to stick out a leg and an arm and imitate the statue up there.......though you probably couldn't press the shutter if you did!!

[Issi Bannerman]

@casablanca Ha ha ... if only I'd even thought of that! ;-)

[Taffy]

Funny narrative and I think @casablanca had the right idea!

[HappySnap]

Love the way your shadow mirrors the statue, well nearly.

[Gayle]

Cool shot with wonderful lines! I checked out 'Blindness' online and as you say, it looks excellent. :-)
