he rides 'twixt shadow and light

that feels more like the line from a poem than a 6 word story, but hey, i tried!

when the sun is out, there is a 15 minute blip in time when it shines from across the street casting brilliant shadows on the snow and pavement... some people take coffee breaks, others take smoke breaks... me, i take a camera break :)

this has been edited into submission in lightroom, photoshop (serious etsooi going on) and nik silver efex...

tx all for the lovely comments (and favs!) on yesterday's crayon shot... it's a weird day when i'm shooting in colour and getting favs!!!
