My new photography resolution, which I hope to stick to through the winter, is to capture shadows whenever the sun is out. Apart from the fact that I really like sunlight and shadow, I know I can find examples even in months when the photographic attractions of flowers and sailboats are not in evidence.
Today’s photo collection includes Massachusetts fall color, decorations for Halloween (I particularly liked that there were three witches, as in Shakespeare), curiosities from the MIT Museum (I loved Arthur Ganson‘s walking wishbone — and all his kinetic sculptures), and a graffiti warning in a Central Square alley.
“Come away, O human child!
“To the waters and the wild
“With a faery, hand in hand,
“For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.”

The trees are gorgeous! Really like the shadows on the grave stone.
Fall color is so short-lived. Before you know it, the trees are all bare, and the ground is covered with brown leaves. Then people start in with their noisy leaf blowers, and you have to walk a different route to avoid getting blasted with sound.
I agree on noisy leaf blowers,way too loud !
Lovely post–I like your commitment to shadows, but I also appreciate the brilliant orange of an autumn maple, and WB Yeats in graffiti is a rare treat.
There is an array of good graffiti in Central Square. Milford Street has captured a lot of it and has inspired me to be alert for it when I’m there. Here is one of his: https://milfordstreet.wordpress.com/2017/06/16/street-art-asian-tattoo/
Oh, these are especially good! They capture the feel and spirit of the season so well!
I like how the shadows of tree branches are reaching around the side of someone’s garage like witch claws, searching.
