Rob, I thought this one had goose egged to the back pages. This picture definitely has an unusual look to it. I shot out the passenger side of the car with the window down. Notice how the flash caused a shadow on the grass behind the lower rope. The upper rope does not cast a shadow behind it. There are other shadows above the upper rope which seem to be coming from a light source, lower than the flash. The post also casts a soft shadow, as does the sign in the grass.
Beth, you are correct, that is the sunset behind the grass. There is no wall behind the grass, nothing. I do not understand what the other shadows are casting on. Your comment is so on, beth, I can't believe it.
Rob and Beth, I like the way you like this.
