Shadow Shot Sunday: Market Street Colonnade
In front of the parade of shops at the bottom end of Market Street, leading towards the bus station, is a colonnade.
Classical colonnades were constructed using large stone columns but Victorian colonnades were made with wrought iron. Essentially they create a covered walkway in front of the buildings. They shelter shoppers from the rain, but in better weather the sun casts delightful shadows on the pavement.

Shadows above me,
Shadows below;
Some shadows swift and
Some shadows slow;
All of these shadows,
It’s plain to see,
Are my compadres—
Sweet company!

Scissor Those Shadows!
Wrought iron can be formed into intricate shapes, like here. I don't see iron as any less of an artistic medium than say, stone. The columns are meant to be functional, but these shapes are lovely, to. A nice streetscape!
ReplyDeletebeautiful shadow pattern!
ReplyDeleteQuite a nice image. Wish I took it.
ReplyDeleteA good shot - love the lattice shadows
ReplyDeleteWe have exactly the same structures over here. Pathetic little copiers that we are. I love the shadow. I tried something similar yesterday.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome Shadow Shot. The wroght iron pattern on the walkway is so pretty. Small at one end and larger as it nears you. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning, checked the blog this morning and it seems to be fine, but i'll keep a watch on it.
