This is my Joy

This is my joy: thus to wait and watch by the roadside, where shadow chases light, and rain follows summer.





Inspired by Tagore.

 Interesting use of light and shadows in all the pictures, but I especially like the last one, with the splash of color of the umbrella.
Yes, it is the season of change again. As I get older, I'm afraid instead of just enjoying the autumn that is here now, I find it is a short passage to winter. And I dislike winter more and more every year.
Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

 MR LOOK I LOVE UR PHOTOS. I A NOTHER life i took 1000s of pictures. i still have MY AE1 PROGRAM. IT IS A FILM CAMERA. I STOPPED TAKING PICTURES AFTER MY DIVORCE. I LOST THE JOY AND WANT TO. I LOST MANY OF THE PICTURES IN DIVORCE. I TOOK A PICTURE OF BILL ELLIET GOING 225 MH DOWN FRONT STRAIGHT AWAY AT TALLADEGA IN MID 80'S USING 1000 SPEED FILM.

 WHEN THE SHADOW CHASES LIGHT HERE THERE IS NO QUESTION OF STANDING BY THE ROADSIDE. WE GO HOME AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, WHO KNOWS WHO MIGHT BE LURKING IN THE SHADOWS. SAD BUT OH HOW TRUE.

I appreciate your perspective on the use of light and shadows in the photographs. I didn’t take any of these pictures myself. Initially, I planned to use photos of rainy days that I shot, but I ultimately decided to go with the one that features a splash of color. Thank you for your post. Take care of yourself. Best regards, Mrs. Joe.

Crazyhorse,
You have correctly expressed what photography means to old people like us. I am not an expert digital photographer. I use my old cameras whenever the opportunity presents itself. I hope you are keeping well. Be safe always.

Thank you, StarCandy, for visiting my blog. I appreciate your thoughts on the photos I've posted. I would love for you to write a blog post sharing more about shadow pictures from Prism, as I have very little knowledge about the system. Take care and be safe!

I completely agree with you that shadows can be both beautiful and eerie. No matter their nature, I will always wait to see them chase the light and look forward to the rain after summer. The monsoon is my favourite season, dear friend Rocket. Take care of yourself, and always stay cheerful!

Your post has made me scared, dear Archer. Under such a situation, you will never see me waiting by the wayside to see shadows clash with light or walk through the rain after summertime. Stay careful and be safe always. Best regards.

 Some really great pictures there. My favourite is the last one with the lovely colourful umbrella. Colour brings the whole picture to life.

Hope you are keeping well, Looklook.

Indeed, dear Maudie, colour brings the whole picture to life. Such a picture speaks volumes to us without uttering a word. I am doing well and hope you are enjoying a peaceful time. Stay safe and cheerful, dear Maudie.
