We are not alone as long as a shadow walks behind us (sometimes right in front of us).
I participate again, with pleasure, in this contest because I like to be a hunter. But I don't like to kill at all. I like hunting with the camera and so this contest is exactly what I need to satisfy the two requirements, to hunt but not to kill!
I have to make a confession. Most of the time I don't hunt shadows. Because they come voluntarily in my photos. All I have to do is check the archive and choose the ones I find most interesting. This is a difficult task for me and I always wonder if the choice was the best. Fortunately, the jury of this contest will show me if the choice was the right one.
Even if I am supposed to be the hunter, it happens that the shadows hunt me, in the sense that they follow me everywhere. now I will present some shadows captured during the trip to Balchik, last autumn.
Balchik is a small and chic resort town on the Black Sea in Bulgaria. I live in Romania and I am lucky enough that between Bucharest, my city, and Balchik it is only 330 km. Which I drive in less than four hours.
The photo with which I participate in the contest:
My shadow following my wife, the stairs leading to the hotel.
As I said above, I am never sure I made the best choice. Because of this I will put below some photos from which I chose the one for the contest. Maybe someone will tell me if the choice was good or not.
The shadow of the grilles from the hotel balconies.
Now, at the end, I repeat what I said above... "We are not alone as long as a shadow walks behind us".
It's good as long as we shadow on earth!
That was it, that was all I could do. I wish success to all those who will participate in this contest!
