The Algarve produces some beautiful shadows.
Just wandering, as I like to do, in the Eastern Algarve, I found myself chasing shadows in the area of Lota. The combination of lagoon, beach and boardwalk is an enticing one. I loved the delicacy of the shell patterns, and a chance find- a sea urchin.
The Weekly Photo Challenge has confused me a little by moving to a Wednesday. But I didn’t let it cast a Shadow on my week. Well, perhaps one or two! A little like the six words that I like to share with you here on a Saturday.
Apologies in advance to those of you who walk with me on Mondays. Next week there will be no blue sky. Have a great weekend!

Fantastic shadows, Jo. It’s funny, I never think to notice shadows while taking pictures. I should pay attention better. Hope you’re having a grand time in the Algarve. 🙂

I like it, though I’m giving it a miss this week. I need to get myself organised for Florence tomorrow. I’ve just collapsed for 5 minutes after zumba 🙂

I love the boardwalk and the shadows. Do you know what that tiny cage is for?

It’s for lobsters, I think, Inese, but they seem to catch a bit of everything 🙂

Love those shadows. Perfect for hanging out in the sun’s warmth without actually being in the sun. 😀

When there is sun, there are shadows. 🙂 Today, I was lucky as well, following my own shadow on a hike in the sunny hills of Southern California. Tomorrow is our last day here, just when the grey skies decided to turn blue.

It’s been raining in the Algarve, Liesbet, so no shadows there right now. Weather is a fickle lady 🙂

Just one big enormous shadow today! Have arrived back to heavy rain, although I fortunately missed yesterday’s weather which resulted in flooding in the far east Algarve 😦 Apparently will be better by end of week, hope so.

It’s not much better here. The ‘soothing’ sound of drumming on the window panes 🙂 Allegedly improving from Wednesday. That will be Spring, then! 🙂

Fingers crossed it improves for you on Wednesday!
I feel so sorry for all the holidaymakers who arrived this weekend for the first half term. Think those whose half term is next week will have a much better week.

Loved those wooden boardwalks in Portugal and your photos bring back great memories. I did a whole series of paintings based on shadows ~ I like the way you captured the strong shadow from the railings and the more delicate wire one.
