Courtyard Shadows

Photobucket

Mission San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, Southern California

Somewhere a pilgrim,
praying among the shadows,
sees a holy light.

    You find the most perfect perspectives from which to capture shadows. I love both the photo and the Haiku here.

    Holy light is hidden because there's more shadow than light in this shot :)
    Happy weekend!

    Beautiful shot and beautiful Mission. We went around to many when my daughter was in the 4th grade. All give a feeling of calm.

    Beautiful wall textures filled with so much character! Their light makes a wonderful contrast with the apparent smooth surface of the shadow!

    Court yards are awesome places to get shadow shots. All kinds of angles. Great shot. Hope you all enjoy my angles.

    a beautiful courtyard; I'm imagining where it might be in this big wide world (maybe Italy?) A great shadow-shot!

Always remember, a sign of shadows means a sign of light.
Namaste.
