Long Shadows on the Shortest Day

Yesterday was a really warm day around 21 degrees c, today is sunny but very chilly. I think we are lucky if it has reached 14 degrees c today.

It is our shortest day in Australia and I just loved the long, long shadow created by David in this photo.

I will be a bit absent this evening because we have got friends coming for dinner.

One friend is having a birthday and the other friend is supplying the birthday cake for dessert.

Wonderful capture of this beach scene. Very nice model. Tomorrow is our longest day of the year! I shall commemorate it with a photo too. We're on the 47th Parallel above the Equator.

Gorgeous beach Babs & David's shadow is sooooooooooo long.

We're just enjoying our longest day, so our shadows are short! Lovely image and a wonderful long shadow!

Our shortest day here too, celebrated with temps around 24 degrees c. Fabulous shot and great idea to have a long shadow. Sounds like you will be having a fun evening, enjoy.

Terrific :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Superb capture. Love all that footmarks in the sand and that long sleek shadow. Before I read your words I said to myself: "that is one sad man walking along in solitude". Thank God I was wrong.

[Casablanca]

David's growing into a tall chap there LOL!! Yes, shortest day for you, longest for us. Now you can head back towards longer days and Summer again and it's gradually back to darker days for us.........but thankfully slowly! Hope you had a super evening celebrating.

When I noticed the really long shadow I shouted to David 'stop there I want to take a photo.' Good job he works well under instruction, ha ha. When he saw it, he couldn't believe just how long the shadow was too.

We had a lovely time last night, nothing better than good friends, good food and good conversation. I think I will need a long walk today after the rich chocolate fudge cake my pal made for Jack's birthday. It was a lovely end to the meal.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

[CC Folk]
