Another in my occasional series of sky shots with no sky! Aim of the game is to make it clear what the sky is doing without really showing the sky.So on a bright and sunny day in the Grampians I found this shadow on a stump – not a cloud in the sky, not a flaw in the shadow.
Hope you like it.
You can find pictures which probably contain the sky at SkyWatch Friday.

Enjoy the skies!
Wow - that shadow is flawless - looks as if it is painted on!
ReplyDeleteLike a very creative etching! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAaaah!, a sky shot with no sky, a fern shot with no fern!..... a magical shot with no magic?.....:)
ReplyDeleteLike your style!....:)
Brilliant!
ReplyDeletecheater! that's more of a shadow shot submission than a skywatch. :)

I love ferns and shadows, so I really like this shot! How creative of you!!
ReplyDeleteIt is really cool, great capture and very creative. Happy skywatching and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuper shadow Stuart. How about linking it with Shadow Shot Sunday at Hey Harriet, you can find the link on my sidebar.
ReplyDeleteHope you sustained no damage from the storm.
Happy days . . .
That is a great shot, and quite unusual, since most reflective shots are taken with water or glass involved. It is so sharp and clear. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteStewart, you win the Xfacta award for most creative skywatch pic this week
ReplyDeletetaa daa
:-)
Very good and nice photo.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
Very creative - you've captured what most would overlook.
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern the fern fronds made with their shadows.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Australia seems like such a fascinating place.
I thought it was a reflection at first! And I thought you were done with the Grampians pix!!!
ReplyDeleteI do!! Very interesting. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the shadows and the wooden texture.
ReplyDeleteHello Stewart M,
ReplyDeleteI was visiting Kel's SWF and was intrigued by the words you wrote in the note you left, so came to Visit...
That is an astonishing photo... I have seen the Sky reflected in Water but never on a Stump...
Personally feel it is a wonderful contribution to SkyWatch Friday... encourages one to look about one to see the wonders of Sky's reflections.
Beautiful.
With appreciation from Magda and Family in Australia
Simply beautifully captured shot...lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow, Love the photo. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteI love it -- almost looks like a perfect fossil embedded in the stone. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAlso it reminds me of a lesson I learned in Kindergarten when I painted a thin blue line across the top of my drawing of a house and the teacher said: the sky is everywhere, we live in the sky, it isn't just up abovr us." I was quite confused for a little while ;>)
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm so late in getting by, Stewart, it has been one of "those" weekends -- BUSY! This is indeed a magical shot and does look like a painting! Creative it is! Hope you've had a great weekend!
