| Boat waiting for transport |
In this shot it would have been impossible to shoot the boat without incorporating its shadow. However other shadows have been included as well.
When shooting dogs (not literally) you sometimes do not have time to think about shadowy effects.

| Gem on her way to the house |
The shadow in the next shot enhances a view on a Michigan golf course.

| Oxford Hills Golf Course - looking back from 10th tee |
You may be able to make out the shadow of a golf cart too.
Then there are times when the shot has been taken deliberately to catch the subject in shade.

| Blind Sam smells his way home |
In the next shot I was more concerned about framing the road with the trees; the shadows turned out to be a bonus.

| Oakwood Road, MI |
When it comes to old ruins, no not me, shadows can add a dramatic effect.

| Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire |
But enough of my shadowy past, it's time for you to check out other shades at Carmi's Thematic-photographic-225

love the one with the shadow of the dog. Like two dogs!
Fountains Abbey - is that one of the abbeys that Henry dissolved?
Sometimes the shadows say a lot.
Very cool Bob, you certainly are right about the shadows being by accident or design...sometimes I just love playing with the perpetual shadow....and when they find us by surprise- which I think a couple of these were...it's just wonderful! Great shadows, fave is the black dog of course! Once my work is finished today- I'll be posting mine!
@dean - Fountains Abbey is one dissolved by Henry VIII. It is the largest of the Cisterian ruined abbeys and is a World Heritage Site.
The fountains Abbey shot is way cool. The dog shots....awwwwww!
It's so funny, I stopped by here this morning, and hadn't even read Carmi's post yet, but then after reading it...my thoughts went straight to the song Me and My Shadow too! I had to google it, and hear it again!
Fountains Abbey is terrific! Sun and ruins is always a great opportunity.
Love the dogs - what breed is Gem?
@Gilly - Gem is a labrador cross (or mutt as the Americans call it); but what the mix is we do not know. An old girl, she is 13.
The boat and it's shadow are awesome, and I really like the Oakwood Road. It reminds me of the roads up to our cabin in NH when I was a kid.
I really like the trees' shadows over the road - and the shot of old Sam tugs at my heart
Absolutely love the shots of Oakwood Road and the Abbey! Lovely work.
oooooh, poor old sam...
i LOVE the shadow shot of the sun peeking through the ruins!! wow!!
Love those doggies, Bob.
