The sun is low this time of year, even at noon. It contributes to the cool weather but makes for great shadows.
Cross hatch pattern on the side of a building with an old school fire escape.
Shadow of tree and light pole. I don’t know what kind of tree it is that still has its leaves this late in the year.
Terrific shadow shots for the day! Isn’t it amazing where you can and do find shadows once you start looking for them. I never cease to be amazed! Such fun! Hope you and your family have a lovely weekend! Enjoy!

Great shadows. Especially like the crosshatch effect from the stairs.
Cool! That first one is especially neat!
I like them both! Around here, of course, there are more trees that still have their leaves than those that don’t.
Short days and long shadows is something I miss, Australia does not have the winters England or USA has, like to view it here though 🙂
Great shadow shots!
That fire escape does cast a lovely shadow. I don’t really see many of them out west. Happy SSS!
The firescape shadows suggest that there is a second set of stairs! Great illusion! And the shadows in the second photo have a mysterious feel about them!
oh love the shadow steps…..makes me think of the game snakes and ladders…
I would be in trouble if I had to use stairs like this today. However, they do make for an interesting shot.
I like the pattern the stairs make, together with the stairs they form a box.
Both shadow shots are gorgeous!
Shadow Shot at my page. Have a blessed Sunday!
That old fire escape is so cool! I hope you’re enjoying the weekend 🙂
You’re opening my eyes to everyday objects – particularly like the first picture.
Great shots! The first one is perfect as a poster!
Happy Sunday!
I love your cross hatch effect on the first picture! Such a happy surprise.
Hugs, Antonella 🙂
P.S. I am also participating in SSS2, and I’ve created a free printable / digi with the shadow quote this week…

Very nice shadows shots!
What intricate patterns the fire escape and its shadows make!
A SHADOW THE SIZE OF THE SUN
If I had a shadow the size of the sun,
I’m not sure how fast I’d be able to run,
Or if I could flee from its ravenous jaws,
While keeping away from its razor-sharp claws!

Shadows here and there
The fire escape makes such a cool shadow!
You are the Shadow King. These are fabulous.
The shadows from the fire escape make it look like double staircases. It is always fun to hunt for these unique objects when most people probably miss them.
