Nantucket Lighthouse - Photos by Quiltworks



art by quitlworksI am participating in Shadow Shot Sunday, where people share photographic images that feature shadows.  This is a Nantucket lighthouse, Massachusetts.  I like this shot because the little walk way's geometric lines and shadows leading the eye towards the lighthouse.















art by quiltworksThe second contribution is to  camera critters.    This is a neighbood cat.  She is a pretty cat, although I am not too happy when she poops in my flowers :-)

I love the shadows on the walkway.
Interesting, because I had just selected several lighthouse pictures for a future Shadow Shot.

As a lighthouse lover + the B&W? I can't ask for more perfect shot.

Job well done!

Happy SS...

Paula Scott said...

Indeed: one could not ask for a more perfect shot. What a great composition. Perspective, line, tonal values...brava!

Love the lighthouse shot, great composition. The cat is beautiful, too, her fur looks unusually long and thick - Norwegian Forest Cat/Maine Coone ancestors maybe?

What a cute kitty in her backward pose!
The lighthouse shot is a beautiful mono with lovely shadows.

lovely shadows and perspective in the first shot, sweet kitty too

Ralph said...

The planks that lead to the lighthouse offers nice shadows, linear and a guide to the front door. The classic seaside look of New England is defining by the sand and nautical details.

How could a kitty with that sweet look defile anybody's garden? I guess with a look like this, she must feel obligated to act different...

Joy said...

What a tail on that kitty!

Self Sagacity said...

I have no critters, so I like looking at people's posts with critters. The cat usually have such stunning eyes. The shot of the light house was done magnificently centered.

Hot Fudge said...

Black and white images are in a world of their own and add so much drama to a shot. This is beautiful. Have a great week.

Nicola said...

Love the light house shot, the shadows and lines are perfect!!

jeanne said...

What a perfect shadow photo. Your description is right on. I think the cat IS pretty. Ditto on the pooping. Big smile.

Thank you for your visit and comment today. I agree the quilt should bring a much greater price. Lucky me.

Hugs, Jeanne

I love your lighthouse shot. The black and white really brings out the contrast. Cute kitty too :)

wanderlust said...

That's beautiful. Love the black and white. It looks so inviting, a wonderful place to go for a walk!

Serendipity said...

The lighthouse shot is fabulous - I agree with you about the walkways.

Dianne said...

KaHolly said...

Stunning photo. Well done! ~karen

Ricepatty said...

Love the light house shot very dramatic and of course who doesn't love a kitty for CC. Have a great day!

Carolyn Ford said...

I love the leading lines in the lighthouse photo! Very well done!

Patti said...

The lines and shadows leading to the lighthouse are interesting. nice perspective in that phoo.

And I love the neighborhood kitty picture . Looks like you startled her.

zeal4adventure said...

This really caught my eye. The lines and shadows are so pronounced owing to its great perspective and that it was shot in b&w.

Thanks so much for you kind words. Truly appreciate it. :)

Cool shot of the lighthouse - placed just in the center - breaks every rule and works! Nicely done!
