There are secret tunes of wind through leaves
as shadows dance in dappled rhythm
to the lilting songs of another Virginia summer.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Shadowed
For this week’s Photo Challenge, find the shadows.
You can choose a literal interpretation and shoot an actual shadow, or you can play with the light and dark,
and create a moody scene, or capture your subject in a rich and interesting way.
Sign of the Times
This is a sign created by modern magic makers. It is from a 1993 movie called Sommersby, a post Civil War saga starring Richard Gere and Jodie Foster.
To create a few seconds of the film the streets of Lexington, Virginia were transformed.
My mother and I visited the site of the little film segment and marveled that our paved Main Streets had literally disappeared. Wooden sidewalks and ladies in long dresses paraded for bustling movie makers. Horses, wagons and bustling activity left us awed and wondering where to look next. We were in a time machine being transported in vivid virtual reality to the post-Civil War South
One freshly painted sign stood out.
Today, in shadow, that one sign for a hat shop still looms in the center of my downtown. Someone decided to keep it.
With reflection I can once again “see” the way it was and even feel a solemn memory of commerce resuming after a terrible civil war.
If you are visiting Lexington, Virginia, look for The Millinery de Rousselot.
It is no longer a hat shop, but the sign is still there casting shadows of the past.
