Cyclists, vintage car enthusiasts (and photographers) aren't the only ones who meander down the winding stretch of road along the Arroyo. Here, runners make the most of warm spring weather -- and cast three lovely shadows in the late afternoon light. Looks like the tree wants to join in.

When I really enlarge this photo, I see an interesting correlation between the wiggly shadows of the runners and the wiggly cracks on the road.
Judy will love the diagonal shadow!
Shanna nailed it - I LOVE that shadow!! I do like the cracks in the road as well. Almost like snake tracks. :)
I always learn something from Shanna and Judy. And you.
I love the way the tree trunk seems to be leaning after the runners, as if it really does want to join them.
I also like the way the tree and its shadow look like a demarcation line... as if the boys have just crossed into another dimension.
Hmmm.... did I double-medicate today?
Looks like ghost shadows in the foreground.
I spent many a day and night riding my bike or walking this part of Arroyo. Most often, not so many cars, ergo, safer than other surrounding streets.
Have to agree with the critiques of the photo...love the lines and wiggly symmetry!
Those cracks have been there longer than *I* have been alive---there was a rumor many years back that Arroyo would fall off into THE Arroyo---all I could think about was "a road on my softball field!?!?!". I was a slightly self centered kid who grew up to think of others when I realized the world included things outside of SoPas!
Yakpate beat me to it
The unsocial shadow.
Give me a hollar. I'm doing a tour of the other side of the hill

I like that word. Might name my next cat Spiquate
I had the same thought as Yak about the leaning tree trunk, but at 2:30 a.m. I was too tired to type any more.
Ohhh l love this a lot. A fine composition. You must have a lot of patience my friend.

Thanks, everyone! (And right back atcha, Hiker.)
Yak and Shanna, you'll notice that I wrote the same thing about the tree leaning in to join the runners.
This is an odd little favorite of mine. I really love high contrast monochrome shots -- especially if they include a captured moment. Virg, I think those poor runners thought I was crazy clicking madly at them as they ran by.
Until tomorrow, people!
