Shadows…

The play of light and dark catches my attention.   Photographs that have both those elements speak to a deep place inside.  Sometimes God seems that way, hidden in the shadows.  He dances between the light and dark.  Yet His presence is with me in both places. 

“Afflictions are but the shadows of God’s wings.”  George MacDonald

Here are some of my favorite photographers, let me tell you why…

...and sometimes, it wouldn't be as beautiful if I weren't looking at it from the shadows.

These are all wonderful. I do love the waterfall and the lines and light in Dianne's photo.

funny thing - i read the photos with the description underneath - for the wrong photo and it still made sense - though a different sort of sense. i went back and read them with the right descriptions and saw your your points of view
nice work!
