What’s interesting here is that one would expect a parallelism between a railing and its projected shadow; but what you get instead is a much more complicated geometric relation between the two lines due to the differences in angle, slope, distance of the different surfaces on which the shadow is projected. A strictly causal relation with an unexpected Dadaistic weirdness to it. Therein its beauty lies.
And I thought Neffies was unknown to all but a very select few, assuming it’s the Neffies in Herault.
The contrast between railing and shadow is interesting, but I’m sure there are more interesting steps in that fair town, of stone rather than concrete.

Love the shadow counterpoint!

Great study in angles and light.

Fantastically disorienting. Love these.

Love the lines!

Amazing!

Not just the dance of the railing and and its shadow, but the differently grainy textures of the walk, the wall and the ground.
