Yes, that’s my shadow on the stone pillar. Careless me!
This time of year always has me in reflective mood. No matter how bright the sunshine, I always know that Winter is waiting, just around the corner. But we have had the occasional sparkling day in this last week or so, and I have been determined to make the most of them. Come stroll with me in my Durham gallery of sunshine and shadows.
The River Wear was brim full and the reflections sparkled up onto the bridge.
Framed in the shadows beneath the bridge, the outline of Durham Cathedral.
The sun was so bright, I had to find leafy shade to even try a shot.
This was the photo I was aiming for on that bridge!
The Autumn reflections in the water were beautiful
And the shadows lengthened as I crossed over the bridge.
Finally, the lengthening shadows of evening.
And another Durham day has flown away.
Cee has given me the perfect opportunity this week to share a few Reflections and Shadows. Please click on the link to see some wonderful photographs.
I’m hoping your week will have more sunshine than shadow.

It was great strolling around with you in Durham, Jo.I don’t know the place. I’ll come for coffee too, when Jude is around. 🙂 Oh dear, I love autumn and … winter too! 🙂
Have a great time in Barcelona, Jo. Do you know Barcelona well?
Happy and safe travels!

Hi Dina 🙂 I’m sure you’ll be passing by at some point. It’s a nice city.
I’ve never been to Barcelona but always wanted to. Our travels are always Algarve based these days, but I got away with this trip as a birthday treat.
