I'm just guessing tis round t'other side from yesterday. Bold, striking shadows. I like the way you subdue everything except your main subject Grant. I am going to work on learning how to do that.... my worry is, I probably don't have the "eye" for it.

@Bill: yep. this is on 83rd west of wornell. it's for sale, if you're interested. and you're crazy about the "eye." of course you've got it.

great control of shadows/highlights, a super eerie shot, who is lurking inside or around the corner?

@RHYS: thanks rhys. and that's what i was worrying about as i was creeping around taking photos.

it has a naked, wintry feel to it, even though the light looks warm. i like the shadows on the wall.

I like the way the lines of the buildings and their shadows intersect to make eye-pleasing angles. The strong contrast gives this shot lots of umph!

The transitory shadows becomes equal to the weighty elements in your compositions. And the shadows usually seem to lead the eye in a different direction from the actual "material" objects, buildings and roads. But in this one the shadows do lead one right around the corner. As always - terrific...

@daina: thanks so much daina

wonderful light and shadows again, this has a bit of a mysterious feel to me about what could be hiding in the shadows or around that corner

Great shadow, feels like this building is being swallowed by the shadow slowly.

A deserted place maybe... ? there is something about it that's a bit unnerving. I like the shadows on the door.

@Observing: yes, it is deserted, and for sale. you could probably get a really good deal...

this one makes me want to run my hand along that concrete block wall. i know that's an odd thing to say but that's the feeling i get looking at this.

@michele: i don't think it's odd at all. thanks for the comment michele.

I see the smaller structure has bars on the windows. We see that a lot in Arkansas. Love the light and shadows in this.

faaabulous light contrasts here mate -- wonderfully strong angles and division of space -- essential and striking!!
