Amazing work, as always. Incredible shadow play, superb lines, leaving my eyes to wander and my mind to go into overdrive. Superbly observed

Now here is a play of negative space and shadow. My senses are well spun but I like it!

It feels like the city is dreaming about itself. I like this one a lot.

Thats quite a spectacle, the lines and shapes here have a 3D feel to them, shadow spaces.

A fine abstract-ish image today. I like how there is a range of sharpnesses in the shadows, and how it makes the mind work to reconstruct the scene.

Good eye to see the possibility for this shadow picture. I like the lines running through the shot too. Well done, Grant!

Love the idea of a blank wall with only shadows to suggest what exists - somewhat like Plato's cave. Terrific image...

@daina: thanks for that comment daina. it's killing me though. i keep thinking what a great name "plato's cave" would be for a photoblog.

Simple shot but I find it hard to find shadows of only lines. Nice shot.

I'm drawn to scenes like this but don't think I've ever captured one as successfully as you have here.

@dj.tigersprout: thanks dj. i can't remember when i changed it. at some point i realized that i had put gbe down as my name - it just seemed unnecessarily confusing...
