Not only the windows and the shape of the shadows, but the architectural elements all combine to make one heck of a shot. Well done, Jojo!

Barbecue... Barbeque... Bar-B-Que... BBQ... no matter how you spell it. In the South, it's a noun.

"A piece of toast with butter always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands on its feet. What happens if a piece of toast is tied butter side down to the back of a cat? Does it perpetually hover above the ground in indecision when dropped?"

Thanks all.The sky in Minnesota was just what a photographer would have ordered with many shades of blue and plenty of clear free floating clouds.These shadows were possible because of the outstanding light.

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

Very nice.

I love the simplicity of this image.

Great natural light, some ... some architectural elements ... a strong focal point ... add up to a great photo.

While viewing this, I did think, 'hmm, what would the image have looked like if you had waited until the light cast the shadow into a more, or less perfect symmetry on the ground?' And just as quickly, in a word ... 'contrived,' and perhaps 'predictable,' came to mind.

It sometimes pays to be less than predictable ... this time, it did.
