| The intrepid shadow hunter |
Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and as often happens, vehicular shadows emerge...as the old song says, I've gotta be me (as Patti knows well :)Yesterday, I was at my wheelchair van dealer for work on my ramp. While there, naturally, I took pictures of vehicles outside. This caught my eye: a motorcycle and sidecar owned by one of the company techs. The bike is a Soviet era, Russian made Ural motorcycle (currently being built by capitalists instead). I never heard of the brand let alone seen one until now. Of course, intricate shadows of spokes mirrors and a handlebar in shadow - the sun and chrome pair nicely...
The other is a bright red 2013 wheelchair driver van I'd like to have (too many $$$ needed), yet my 2008 Dodge will continue to do just fine...the last look is at on a converted paratransit Ford van, the author, or at least his boat shoes show up. Shadows and reflections (and wheeled devices) this work well here at SSS2

Top shots.
i rode in a sidecar for the first time last year. it was exciting!! nice shots Ralph!! Happy Weekend!!!
Although I am not fond of riding motorized bikes, that one is way cool! Not to mention the history of it and where it came from. Excellent!
Yesterday was a perfect day for you to find shadows!
I'd be scared to ride in the sidecar, even with a seat belt.
Good eye and self portrait!
oh, my favorite vehicle color (red) and my recently acquired 2nd fave (silver)! I think that I'd enjoy riding in the sidecar.
Lots of details in the shadow.
Nice capture.
Striking shadows in those first two photos! A great pairing of motor power! Great photos!
'Ural motorcycle' sounds so funny for me :) I can't imagine Russia to produce popular machines, any kind but obviously they do! :)
Happy Sunday from cloudy and windy Málaga!
that side car is really cool! Enjoy your day!
Oh wow, a sidecar! And what a great story - and cool shadows too.
great close-ps and loving that sidecar...
Great shadows! That is a very interesting motorcycle.
