Pergula Shadow Patterns

ninahaskin (67) in hive-179017 • 5 years ago (edited)

Ever since I joined Steemit and came across the Photoshadow Contest for the first time, I find myself searching for shadows everywhere I go.

While shopping at one of the newer premier shopping malls in my area called "The Meadows at Lake St. Louis," I came across this impressive architecturally designed area that artistically begged to be photographed.

The vivid cobalt blue colors of the sky peeked between the pergola's dark wooden crossbeam structures as the sun cast shadows on the stone columns and walkway underneath creating a dramatic effect.

What beautiful geometric shadows !
Isn't that interesting that when our mind is turned to an idea (like finding shadows), it's like a whole new world is opening its door and abundance of what we seek does show up ! 😊
What if people decide to focus on happiness and every piece of joy, instead of looking to everything that goes wrong...? 😉

Excellent plan! I sometimes have to look through my photo gallery to see if I already have a suitable image to use for a particular contest when the weather doesn't allow taking fresh images. I'll drop by to see if you posted! @mers
