I took a fair few photos on our travels (well, quite a fair few to be honest) and here are a couple of shadow shots which bring back happy memories.
This one was taken from a window at Hampton Court Palace on a fairly hot day.
This one was taken at the foot of the Eiffel Tower on a fairly cold day.
But this one of my clever Egyptian friend in the Louvre is my favourite. See how he's made a dog head wall shadow - what a guy.
This final shot has nothing at all to do with shadows, but I thought you'd like to see this gorgeous young Italian waiter in Florence who didn't lift a finger all night - he simply stood there and the young women flocked into the restaurant. Nice.

WOW...a dream holiday indeed, good to have you back to share the addiction...love the shadow dog. Isn't it funny how we are now consumed by the catching of a mere shadow, will stop dead in our tracks for that perfect shot.
It is good to have our eyes a little wider to the universe!
have a wonderful Sunday friend!

Great shadows all, I bet there are a lot more great shots to come. I'm looking forward to them.
Oh, yes! what a fun post! And it did bring back memories of my trips to Paris and Italy!! AND, the beautiful young waiter that just has to stand! Love it -- we should all be so lucky!
And on top of all that -- marvelous shadow shots! Love the shadow dog!
Have a great weekend!

I love fence shadows. And the tower is just wonderful!
Welcome back, Lady? Was that the reason you're away for a couple of months? Wonderful to hear that you been to Europe. Amazing isn't it? That's a dream trip, I supposed. You're worth it.
Anyways, all the shots are well done taken. Huh! I wonder what he's doing there? Guess, he's a sort of guard?
Happy SS
The shadow of the fence is nice, the angled vertical iron rail looks longer in the sun, and not at all confining. A fence whose best view is on the sidewalk canvas.
The Eiffel Tower is a magnificent structure, the iron skeleton looking ad delicate as lace. My wife and daughter have been to this twice, myself never :(
The 'City of Lights' beckons...
Great shadow shots, even the waiter seems kind of shady.
Thanks for sharing
Great post Robyn, the Egyptian shadow is amazing! If only every restaurant had a hunky young Italian man to lure women in!
Great shadow shots...I was lucky enough to travel to Paris twice with my daughter's high school group..
I got some photos of the Eiffel Tower. Now I"ll have to check if they have shadows for this meme. ;-)
I love the Egyptian statue. Very cool.
Thanks for stopping by my blog ~
Gorgeous holiday shots! Welcome back to Oz! :)
I love these shots, brings me back to my working holiday many years ago. That shadow shot of the Eiffel Tower is almost as divine at that Italian waiter ;)
Great job on shadows! I love the museum shot!
Oh look at you Fancy Pants Fudge with your Eiffel Tower and Louvre shadow shots and your cute little Italian waiter. As if I wasn't green with envy before your trip! I've just turned Hulk-style green now! ;)
Seriously, I LOVE that Eiffel Tower photo! It's so lovely having you join us again. I missed you!
O those shadows are beautiful! Delightful collection!
But I especially love the Egyptian statue creating the dog's head in shadow with its hands! Incredible!
Great shots..I had to laugh at the waiter shot..Very funny..
Happy SSS.
This is a beautiful collection of shadow shots, I enjoyed them all.
Very clever work! I ws wondering if they put the waiter on the menu or if he was just the special.
Lovely shadows, especially of the sculpture...
What a great variety of shadows! Looks like it was a wonderful trip!
Great creations and the shadow from the window view is exquisite, very creative of you. And funny about that young guy, huh?
What a great collection of shadows. I would love to visit Paris..Michelle
