You can't escape your shadow - The play of sun and shades in the park

Today I went to the park around 2:30 p.m. when the sun was still shining brightly. As we experience unusual warm temperatures for this time of the year the weather feels like spring is close. But I have this off feeling that we skipped winter. We still have two months of winter ahead, I still hope it will get back to normal. 

Meanwhile I took some pics of the long shadows cast by the bright sun about 2 hours before dusk. 

I love the play between light and shade, the shapes that are born out of this are fascinating to me. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them :)

It made me think about this quote I put in the title that we can't escape our shadow. 

And because yesterday evening I went to see the last Star Wars movie (I loved it, go see it if you haven't already) these shadows also reminded me of a phrase from the movie: _"where there is a strong light there is also a lot of darkness"_. 

I loved the philosophical themes and dilemmas faced by the heroes and the way the story was built. I found it way more coherent than the other episodes.

And I'll stop here talking about it, as I don't want to do any spoilers :)

Namaste
