This photo was taken in 2015...

life is strange...

I know... this scene looks rather odd...
Originally I intended to capture the passing boat on a trailer in Mornington's main street...
I  aimed the lens for a spot ahead of the boat and waited for it to cross the picture frame..
But circumstances had other ideas...
The boat - or at least, the car - suddenly picked up speed...
A woman suddenly emerged from a shop behind me and crossed the frame...
And the passing boat revealed a man on the other side of the street
who looked as if he was chasing the boat...
At first, I was going to delete the photo...
But then I noticed something else...
The boat cast a large shadow shape on the roadway...
How perfect for Shadow Shot Sunday 2...
So the photo lived to share...
(And how strange that the boat is called 'Reaper' - without the 'grim' thank goodness...)

alternatives may just be

yellow stall...

stall at the 2015 Mornington Spring Festival yesterday...
It was too crowded at the front to get a shot, so I had to resign myself to a back view...
And found some more yellows...


little yellow place
fresh juices

two skies?

interesting how the sky in the Main Street, Mornington seems so pale
and yet, in the shop reflection on the left,
the clouds are so defined in a blue sky...


two skies
gracing one street world
an enigma

Shadowy Mornington

An early morning view of Mornington Main Street.
I love the touch of Autumn leaf colour.

Shadowy Main Street

Main Street, Mornington during a rare break in traffic!
Admittedly, once summer has passed, the traffic "thins" in this town on Port Phillip Bay.

Warming to the day
Sleepy coastal Autumn town
Saved from summer crowds

Street Without the Buzz

Shadowy main street of Dromana, early on a Sunday morning.
It rarely looks like this!

It should look busy
Traffic bumper to bumper
Hollow sweet silence

Sorrento Winter Shadows

It's not often that shadows - when it's sunny - take up more space in the main street of Sorrento than do the people.
But in the winter time, when the holiday crowds have gone, this is quite possible.

Sorrento Quiet in Winter

A winter view of the Sorrento main street.
(Sorrento is on the far end of the peninsula.)
Usually, in summer, this street is alive with shoppers and holidaymakers in their summer colours.
But in winter, it seems just the residents of the peninsula venture here.

A pretty main street
Colours and fashions gather
Lonely in winter
