Shadows at Ponca State Park, June 24, 2007

A morning walk at Ponca State Park turned up some fun shadows. The pipeline road curves, rises, and falls, creating interesting shapes to show against the organic surroundings. I like the sense of depth here, with the line in the foreground pointing through to the background, leading the eye across shadows, texture, and backlit leaves. The scene works with the sun cropped out, but I liked the idea of including it as a strong bit of punctuation.
