December 17 2006:
Family

Sorry to disappoint all of you who thought yesterday’s photograph was of some chocolate! Actually taken looking on the head of a mushroom shaped fountain outside our theatre. The building is currently illuminated in pink and this is reflected in the pool of water and the rock type object you can see is actually some discarded chewing gum!

What a star - wonderful

Lovely shadow play ... great catch, Ray

Guest		19-Dec-2006 21:23
And the fountain outside the theatre? That's caught us all out before... it's becoming your "joker" card for when you want to send us all into confusion! Well done Ray for both images!

Guest		19-Dec-2006 21:19
My first thoughts were of the stress of keeping a family, and this looks like one of those seeing red moments. But reading the comments I like the "state of emergency" idea too - in fact that probably works better with the torn down poster.

you have the most amazing eye..v

A very well known scene!! Great one!!

J. Scott Coile		18-Dec-2006 17:45
That red really pushes this shadow scene into a super transformation. This has the appearance of a war scene. AWESOME! V

AL		18-Dec-2006 15:42
Excellent storytelling shadowplay, with dramatic red and torn poster. Voted. (And I'm now disillusioned ;-P)

JSWaters		18-Dec-2006 15:35
It feels like they're trying to escaped from some threat - the red screams danger to me here. Great image, Ray. I never thought chocolate yesterday - just Mars! That's my strange brain, I guess ;-) Jenene

Play with shadows! Very interesting monochrome shot Ray.

Guest		18-Dec-2006 04:08
Look like there a story with the shadows

Craig Persel		18-Dec-2006 00:00
Excellent.

snootydog		17-Dec-2006 23:07
This is great, Ray.

Guest		17-Dec-2006 22:44
fantastically magical. v

Robbie D70		17-Dec-2006 21:44
Great shadow shot with most of the frame filled with salmon pink. The solid person on the left serves to tell the story. Im not so sure about the ripped poster included.

Victoria		17-Dec-2006 21:41
fantastic image

Carole Stevens		17-Dec-2006 21:31
Thats me Chocolate on the brain, is this chocolate oh please? Great shadows ray love the colour and light!

Naomi		17-Dec-2006 19:37
Interesting image that leaves you wondering what's happening here.

Nicki Thurgar		17-Dec-2006 18:45
Oh well that's totally shattered the chocolate illusion then!!! Great shadow capture on the red wall!

Dan Chusid		17-Dec-2006 18:16
Looks like they're all in a hurry to get away from you. Something you said...? :^O

Ric Yates		17-Dec-2006 18:03
Great work Ray - always amazed at your ability to get great shots in Woking!

JW		17-Dec-2006 17:20
Excellent work Ray! So intriguing - where are they, where are they going?

Zak		17-Dec-2006 17:16
great shadowy pic!

Roy Birger Nilsen		17-Dec-2006 16:39
Very dramatic shadowplay with great colours,seems like they are fleeing from something.Great shot!:-)

Guest		17-Dec-2006 16:39
I like the way it is full of life - the efforts of pushing the pram up the hill and carrying what looks to be quite a sizeable child too. Hard to beat that red for background.

virginiacoastline		17-Dec-2006 16:26
I agree about the shadow images . . .and I didn't THINK that was chocolate yesterday . . .but had no idea if it was edible or inedible . .and I guess that is very telling on ALL of us at PBase . . .we love chocolate =)

Guest		17-Dec-2006 16:19
Love the combination of shadows and old "poster" (removed) on the wall. Yes, there is a family here... ;-) Well well seen.

Lee Rudd		17-Dec-2006 16:18
wonderful shadow image!

Robin Reid		17-Dec-2006 16:17
This is a creative effort Ray. Nice work.

Guest		17-Dec-2006 15:35
My first impression was that they were fleeing a fire or some other tragedy. wonderful image thought provoking vote

Barbara Heide		17-Dec-2006 15:00
oh this is a very nice shot! wonderful colours and shades...

Cindi Smith		17-Dec-2006 14:56
Like the shadows....I thought someone was being kidnapped! LOL and Lol for the image from yesterday.
