Shadow Shot Sunday - Shadowy Savin Rock

We aim to find shadowy art in our travels for Shadow Shot Sunday 2, ant any event or venue. So this is the room where dinner would be served at a recent event. The building is the attractive Savin Rock Conference Center, the shadows are filtering in nicely and on a nice day, Long Island Sound saltwater estuary looks as blue as ever. Thus the alliterative mix of Sound, sun, surf and shadow makes for a fun evening...  

Shadow Shot Sunday - Escape from Ansonia

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 takes me back to a recent function on Long Island Sound. Lovely Allegra was captured by personable photographer Patti who thought this scene similar to Dorothy telling Toto that we’re not in Kansas Ansonia anymore...

This is a great sentiment on a beautiful Summer evening on the salt water tidal estuary in Wast Haven. As well as shadows that are following my favorite ladies above the seawall. Blue sky, fluffy clouds and happy shadows are all here in our 20 minute escape from our home in the Ansonia Uplands...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Savin Rock, near and far

Savin Rock up close, 22 September

Savin Rock, more distant in the early Spring - the lovely Patti in shadow

Shadow Shot Sunday returns as I look at nearby Savin Rock in West haven Connecticut. Set on the shoreline of New Haven Harbor. Looking up close at said rock, it seems huge, almost as if it is part of an outcropping set in a rocky canyon, a small part of a rocky ridge. Up close, that is...from a distance, it looks as if it were more of an anthill...

It is merely a matter of perspective. However, standing atop it on a clear day, one can see across Long Island Sound and Long Island NY, 12 miles (19 km) distant. The colonial army kept a sentry on it to see any advancing warships of the Royal Navy as they approached (and actually landed in 1779) during the American Revolution. So whether big or small in perspective, it is an impressive rock...
