Love all the cracks & crevices are wonderful - reminds us a microscopic shot of the epidermis...of course with small pebbles on it!
very cool shot - I love all the small shadows hidden away in there...
Sun drenched ancient paths...I think I'll bask in it for awhile, it's good to see the sun somewhere!
Beautiful shot!
This is a creative post Tom. Like the composition here.
Really beautiful shadow shot!
Marvelous shot as always, Tom! I love all the cracks and crevices each with their own little shadows!
Enjoy the day!

"Which way should we go? I'm thinking up this way."
"No, no, I think we should head down here!"
"I don't know... I think this way is the better path."
"Suit yourself. I'm going this direction."
you wouldn't think those squat round rocks would produce such long pointy shadows...great shot..
In the natural scheme, when compared to the rocky hills, the stones in question are small and seemingly insignificant. Yet the small rocks leave a much larger and significant shadow. In the right context, small can be more powerful...
Great SS of the "age lines" and rocks of our world. Makes me want to be there where it's DRY!
loved the texture of the rocks...very nice shot.
Now those are some substantial shadows.
A great shot. Lots of great shots to be had there.
Shadows hide in so many places! Beautiful Yosemite!
Beautiful shot. The rocks look so interesting.
Happy SSS.
You must have been up at the crack of dawn to get such long shadows - or was it late in the afternoon? Either way, well done - it's a great shot.
The shadows cast by the stones seem like an ancient gateway to somewhere! This is enhanced by the rugged ground! Beautiful atmosphere!
You know, there's a definite consonance again here between your shot and Generik's. It's almost like he's stalking you!
Beautiful! The textures and patterns and of course the shadows are all so lovely! You visit some amazing places!
Do those two stones stand up forever like that, I wonder! Lovely shadows.
It's almost like he's stalking you!
Well, we did get together last night with some other Flickr friends for a few beers...
Wow!! As my grandson would say... "awesome dude."
I will have to start watching the ground a little closer from now on.
I love the patterns made by the natural lines and cracks in the rock. They create perfect shadows here.
Nice photo!
And I love the name of your blog. ;-)
Very nice shot!
Here's my first Shadow Shot Sunday
Beautiful!
simple but complex...
Super photo - my husband is looking over my shoulder - he likes it too!!
Thanks, y'all! To be honest, it's hard to take a bad picture in Yosemite.
I love the long shadows of the two rocks...
Fantastic photo! I hope you have a great week ahead!
