"The eye is always caught by light, but shadows have more to say.”
Gregory Maguire
Shadow Hunters Community Contest SMASh - Round 358
Yesterday, Saturday, taking advantage of the warm and clear day, I went to Parque del Este, an urban park located a short distance from my house, and to which I had not returned since the end of last year, although to be honest, it has only been about three weeks since we welcomed 2025.
As I always do every time I go, I walk the pathways starting at the pond area where I usually find attractive and interesting images to photograph, before heading to the area where the sports fields are located at the other end.
Because of Venezuela's location in the tropics, we do not have the traditional four seasons, so far from being in winter like most of the world, we are currently in the dry season, which begins in late November or early December and ends around May or June, so the vegetation tends to dry up or wither.
During my walk, I found some interesting shadows on the pavement of the park's bike path, some of them a bit scary; so I take the opportunity to share them with everyone as my entry in this week's Shadows Hunters Contest.
As I have described in previous posts, I usually make use of the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed, with the aim of improving or highlighting some element of my images.
Ayer Sábado aprovechando el día caluroso y despejado, acudí al Parque del Este, un parque urbano ubicado a corta distancia de mi casa, y al cual no había regresado desde finales del año pasado, aunque siendo honesto, apenas han pasado unas tres semanas desde que diéramos la bienvenida al 2025.
Como siempre acostumbro cada vez que voy, recorro las caminerías comenzando por el área del estanque donde suelo encontrar imágenes atractivas e interesantes para fotografiar, antes de dirigirme al área donde se encuentran los campos deportivos al otro extremo.
Por la ubicación de Venezuela en el trópico, no contamos con las cuatro estaciones tradicionales, por lo que lejos de encontrarnos en invierno como gran parte del planeta, en el país estamos actualmente en la temporada seca, la cual se inicia a finales de Noviembre o principios de Diciembre y finaliza alrededor de Mayo o Junio; por lo que la vegetación suele secarse o marchitarse.
Durante mi paseo, encontré algunas sombras interesantes sobre el pavimento de la pista de ciclismo del parque, algunas de ellas un poco aterradoras; por lo que aprovecho de compartirlas con todos como mi participación en el Shadows Hunters Contest de esta semana.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, usualmente hago uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed, con el objetivo de mejorar o destacar algún elemento de mis imágenes.
All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
This is my entry for the #SMASh Contest. This is an initiative of @melinda010100. I hope you enjoy it.
