 This is a post for [Smash contest ~ Round 265](https://peakd.com/@melinda010100/shadow-hunters-smash-contest-round-6364e27fea3dc) It was a while since I posted last time to this community... So: 'Hi!' again. I invite you to walk along the alleys and back streets of St.Petersburg on a sunny day - we will surely find one or two shadows if we look carefully around.  Meander's shadow   Just a pigeon shepherd grazing his flock on the lawn while having fun on his smartphone... trivia! but look at all the luxurious patterns of shadows around him. --------  A full 'shadow tree' growing here...  <div class="pull-left"><p> Walking thru this alley along the palaces, I was really enchanted with this scene of a tree, complete shady tree cast at the different parts of the building. </p></div><div class="pull-right"><p> Looked so appealing to me, that I stopped to take several doubles. </p></div> ---------  "Russian Greyhound" is an elite type of dog that I occasionally meet on the streets, and which invariably leads me to admiration. (In my opinion, they are rather hard to keep, as they were breed for speed and require a lot of active walking).  A street musician, playing accordion. I saw him several times sitting at the same spot, and playing invariably one hit song - 'Kalinka'. I took several portrait shots (they are simply heartbreaking! or bleeding...) and the last one, focused specifically on the shadow it casted. --------- The next one I was tremendously excited of and almost jumping when I noticed it.  I'm sure it could make a great entry for "guess the shadow" contest - most likely no one could guess that its a swing's shadow. In fact, we have here some kind of exclusive, creative DIY stuff... I have never seen such a swing and did not even suspect this is possible... and, of course, it provides a pretty exclusive shade -- to me looks like some kind of a fairy snake. What will you say, mates? how do you feel about it? (of course, theres always a possibility nobody is reading at all, just slide in a fast mode thru the gallery...)   A bit funny and and unexpected result. Here I was actually photographing a monument to an angel, and another photographer's shadow got into the frame; in the photo - it looks like he is trying to catch this dove (or at least his shadow). A funny accident that formed the frame! I love such coincidences...   Shady family is what we have here... A gang, lol! <table class="wp-block-table"><tbody><tr> <td>location:</td> <td>St.Petersburg, Russia</td> <td>April 2023</td> <td>natural light</td></tr> <tr> <td>camera/lens:</td> <td>Canon 5D</td> <td>150mm, 70-200mm</td> <td>raw-conv</td></tr> </tbody></table> Thanks for walking with me! see you next time.  ###### <center>All images taken by me, copyright (c) @qwerrie</center> ###### <center>My posts at [pinmapple.com](https://pinmapple.com/@qwerrie)</center> ###### <center>Thanks for visiting my blog!</center>
