shadow

With the house all upside down for decoration, I thought I was going to bring you another "see what a mess we're in" shot today. But, no! As I walked through the kitchen, I spotted this...

Good eye, Peter - wonderful shadow and a very nice image.

What a curious thing, a banana hanger? Is it really for that purpose? Never saw anything like that before. :D Fun shot with the shadow, I like it!

@joa Haha, I know, it's really funny, but it is called a banana tree. It's designed to keep your bananas away from other fruit (because degrading bananas emit gases which cause other fruit to go off more quickly). Weird, isn't it?

[Johanna]

@peadar One more thing I didn't know I need. :D Although as I don't eat bananas... ;)

[Tracy Robbins]

Good hanger for bananas that come in pairs - what do ya do with the singletons?!

[Ariel]

Interesting... could you actually hang an entire bunch on it or would it fall over?

Great reflections, btw.

Shadow just makes this photo.

... think the hanger has generated more interest than the photo!!

[Peter H]

@carmel Yes, we've got a whole bunch on there today!
@jackie8 You might be right, Jackie, dark days, indeed :-)

I like that it only looks like one banana in the shadow. Nice lighting and great shot Peter!

@alison53 Alsion, I hadn't seen that. I didn't even know they existed until Miriam arrived home with it a few weeks ago.
