Shadow Shot Sunday: Relics


 I like all things weathered and worn, (tilting swiftly into that category myself!).
.
Where some in my neighbourhood are offended by this local property turned into a vehicle graveyard, I consider it a gluttonous feast for my photographer's eye!
Coming across it late one day with the afternoon sunlight slanting through the trees, and a dappled coat of shadows blanketing all, I shot frame after frame…as eager and pleased as if I’d found a palace to photograph!


Some time ago, I vehemently refused to sign a petition, begun in an effort to force the owner to clean up his lot...heaven forbid!
.
 In my staid suburban enclave of subdivisions virtually indistinguishable from one another, this jewel of a yard adds a much-needed note of whimsy and individuality that stands out and makes one take notice.


.
I say it’s time beauty at all ages was admired…even we weathered and worn relics need our day in the sun, after all!!


I'm linking this to Shadow Shot Sunday hosted by Tracy at Hey Harriet. I know you'd enjoy stopping by the link below to check out other shadow shots!
