Al Aarrudh Garden shadows

I am obviously quite taken with the shadow patterns in many of these parks. We had gone to this park around noon, and I thought the light might be terrible, but it certainly was good for these kinds of shadows.

Quite an amazing shot. In part it seems as if there are polka dots on the wood. Very appealing image. V

a strong hint here of Islamic art with the intricacy of the patterns...love the angular shadow...

Very nice play of light and shadow. You could almost think that it is some kind of wallpaper.

An accident of light and shade creates such finely-detailed compositions - but it took skill to recognise and capture them.

Isabel Cutler		03-Nov-2014 12:07
That's dizzying! :-)
