In The Shadows
I don't know if it is the time of year with daylight fading into night earlier or the fog my brain is in from the cold medicine but I have been very aware of changes in light lately and how shadows tend to tell a story. This week capture what you find intriguing about light and shadows.
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.
~~ Rod Serling ~~
As human beings we are limited and only able to perceive the three spatial dimensions (length, width and height), plus time as the fourth dimension.
But what lies in the empty spaces and dark corners of our universe? What mysteries are hidden between the light and the shadow?
Physicists, theologians, scientists and theorists of all kinds have been pondering and speculating on these questions since recorded history and beyond. What do you think or believe? For that matter, what do I think or believe?
The only story this coffee mug is telling me right now is that it's empty and needs to be filled. *smile*

My favorite time of day ... morning coffee ... coffee gets carried around by me all day. About once a week I have to find all my lost coffee cups! Hopefully before they start growing mold! That second picture is great!
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is simply a negative of the first. I used Photoshop to create the effect.
DeleteGorgeous photo! I love the stark contrast between light and shadow of the first photo.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you posted a coffee mug, I broke my favorite mug it's week! The photos are fantastic Bonnie and I hope you were able to get another cup!
ReplyDeleteCaffeine administered. All is good. *smile*
DeleteLove the simplicity and flow of your transformed pic, Bonnie!
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic post! love the photo, and the editing to it! and the deep thoughts ... so twilight zone (I hear that music in my head - ha!)
ReplyDeleteI used to love that show - the guy with the third arm. The woman who served the roast she used to kill her husband. Great show.
ReplyDeleteLove that 2nd coffee mug photo - the focus sure goes into the empty mug! lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteYour shadow photo has a great graphic quality! love your post.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Bonnie, simple but effective :)
ReplyDeleteI started noticing how the play of light and shadows were changing way back in August. I always look forward to that change because I hate summer and adore autumn and winter. Love your photo, great job.
ReplyDeleteOnly Rod Serling...I used to watch the Twilight Zone....Some of the shows still "haunt" me....but I do love what he says...I do believe there is more "here" than meets our poor human eyes...Great post. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Bonnie! Loved your explanation of the metaphysical aspects AND the coffee cup photo.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, I love the mysterious look of them, the second one looks like a drawing to me.
