Shadows cannot see themselves in the mirror of the sun - Eva Perron..................
Worry gives a small thing a big shadow - Swedish proverb ............................

Old Shadows
Old farming equipment at Coolart, a 19th century homestead at Somers on the Mornington Peninsula.
Old farming machines Once just worked the heavy earth Now shadows of art
Shadow quote on chubskulit's Etcetera Etcetera: I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.
- Plutarch
This is almost like a retirement party for the machinery that worked so hard for so many years .. an appreciation of their shadows as art is perfect ! Joy : )
The old machinery has gotten a new lease on life as shadow makers!
