Shadow Shot Sunday

Zipline Line
Early morning in Justin Herman Plaza, people are lining up for free rides on the zipline.

Shadow Shot Sunday--the dance craze that's sweeping the nation! (Well, lots of nations, actually.)

    The mechanical shadows seem almost as a reflection - I can feel the depth there. I noticed a wheelchair traveller also - the shadows nicely replicate the waiting passengers...

    I love this - the figures look as if they have been cut from black paper!!

    As I first glimped it I thought it was the weave of a very course fabric, like burlap...how cool, bricks!

    I took a look at what the zipline was - my goodness, what fun! And what a beautiful, clear image. Well done.

    Thanks, y'all!

    This shot was really sort of an afterthought; I wanted to get some shots of people on the zipline, and was focused on that, but saw the shadows and the silhouetted people and it just added up.

    A beautiful shadow shot but I'm not sure about that zipline ride. Just clicked the link and it looks a bit too scary to me!

    Yeah, I'm with you on the zipline thing--sounds like 30 seconds of pure acrophobia to me.

    Great photo! I too would line up for a free go on the zipline-what fun! On our school trip to the farm last year there was a mini one-I had about ten goes!
