Shadow Play

Time for another gallery of light and shadows, to celebrate shadow play on outside and inside surfaces. In Elements of the Chinese Garden, we learned that walls are an important element of Chinese gardens for capturing shadows and displaying poetry. In this collection, walls are not the only element for capturing shadows. Containers, garden hardscape, ground surfaces, brick walls, and broken terra cotta pots also serve the purpose. Enjoy this latest gallery of shadow play from everyday life.
