I was looking at this shadow of a flag when the wind picked up and I snapped this image.

Excellent! Isn’t it great how the texture of the sand shows up so much better within the shadow!

It’s cool how the sand looks quite different in the shadow. :) A great shot Joe!

Thank you Elina :) As I was telling Joanne the North Shore sand is so different from the fine Fire Island sand you would think you were on another planet :)

What I find captivating is the ripply texture of the ground underneath the shadow. I’m not sure I would have noticed that in the view finder of the camera!

Thank you Joanne. The texture is from beach sand on the North Shore of Long Island which has small stones in it. It is very different from the fine sand beaches of the South Shore of Long Island which is just pure sand.

Thanks – I wasn’t sure what it was. Outside of the shadow, the ground actually looked like a hard surface like asphalt but it was too uneven in the shadow … unless the contractor did a REALLY poor job of laying it :)
