Greetings,

How are you doing?

It is the weekend, and I am going to visit the beach near the neighboring city.

I could not imagine that the clouds in the sky this morning were going to scatter so fast.

The sunlight dominate over the city and the heat is back.
Hopefully the area around the beach says cleared from the dark shadow from the clouds.

Let's the photo hunt start for the shadow...

The first photo above is my entry in the contest. I appreciate this opportunity allowing the publication of Shadows.
People came to the area very fast on this morning of Saturday. I was surprise to see the soccer players leaving so early at around 10:30 when I arrived at the palm trees area at the beach.

I love this spot because of the protection against the heat when the sunlight, is very effective around noon. After passing the main open gate near the parking lot, it is impossible to miss the palm trees.

I saw the early phase of development of these trees when they got planted on this spot.

It was difficult to believe that in such harsh environment the growth will happen so fast. The maintenance team in charge to supervise the healthy condition for this palm trees to develop did a magnificent job.

The sun was not very high in the sky and the lack of obstacle to the sunlight create a situation where shadow hunting on this spot felt great.

My walk around the palm trees gave me the perfect opportunity to capture their shadow on the brown sand.

It was not just safe at some point because people come with material they left on the sand. I have to be careful to not walk on a debris of glass broken in pieces in the sand. It is difficult to spot and can easily injure the people walking barefoot.

The behavior was denounced, but it has not changed the situation on the beach, where a crowed larger every week visit this place of choice to picnic.

When I found that the empty bottle of wine was visible on his upper part while the bottom was under the sand, I knew that it was time to walk in the direction of the waves and leave the palm trees.

This area was not so popular when the plants were small, without large leaves and branches. The collection of garbage will be a problem if the visitors do not adopt the discipline to clean the spot they used before they leave the beach.
