Sunlight shadows on the sidewalk, Friday afternoon

"Leaving work at 5.30pm today, I swung the front door shut behind me, and something about the late afternoon light made me stop dead in my tracks. Seconds later, my bag hit the ground and I was kneeling on the walkway, camera in hand, snapping photos of the sunlight on the grass. When I'd decided a dozen photos was more than enough, I stood up, brushed off my knees, and, before turning away to head back to my car, I stopped and aimed one final, level glance at the shadows, thinking,
I have to remember this moment so I can write about it later. "

Oh, I love this. The shapes, the colors, the light. The
contrast! Really great shot.

Saint Pitbull - so glad you like! You made me
smile, because those are all the things I
loved about this moment, too. =) Thanks for
stopping by and commenting, buddy! so bright , I was trying to figure out how to darken it
in Photoshop. Wasn't very successful. =)

Looking at fresh green grass is VERY good for
your eye-sight. So all the fellow
spectacle-wearing friends, you should gaze at
this picture for atleast two minutes.

Goodness. You all like this as much as I do,
it seems. I was thinking perhaps I was a
little cracked-out to be liking a bit of
concrete and grass so much. =) Just for that,
I'm sending you all sunshine. It's coming in
the mail, just watch for it.

The light, grass and cement screamed
Oakland/San Jose. 20's - 30's Bay Area...
which of course is in the SV too.

malconsidine - Man, you're good. =) Clearly,
you know the Bay. I started working in the
South Bay at the beginning of the summer, and
it's made me realize how little I know about
that area. Months later, I'm still struggling
to figure out the geography, among other
things.

Oakland somehow.
