Shadow Shot Sunday
January 30, 2010 | Filed Under City Streets and Sidewalks, Harlem, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Shadow Shot Sunday
Funny how many folks think that the streets of NY are always crowded. It isn’t so. I took this photo on a weekday, just before 12 noon. There are many quiet streets in many quiet neighborhoods of the city. Here’s one in Harlem (with some shadows).
Happy Shadow Shot Sunday!

Thanks Paz for this educational shadow shot. No, really, I just never have thought of NYC as having any quiet neighborhoods. This has shown me a side I’ve never seen (as a visitor).
Nice shadow shots. The streets look empty.
Very unique shadow shot, well done.
All the best

I’m one of those people that thought New York was a city that never slept and every street was filled with people 24/7. But you see, I learn things by visiting you Paz! New Yorkers do sleep sometimes. And do not spend their every waking hour walking the streets
I agree … very unique. Beautiful shadow shot!
A calm day… Nice!
Cheers,
Rosa
You’re right…I’d never think there would be an empty street at that time of day…nicely composed Paz!
Lovely variety of shadow paterns in this almost empty street! Delightful!
Such lovely loooong, shadows… And treat of a quiet street in the middle of afternoon! Happy Weekend, Paz

Really great shadows. I love the streaks of light on the street.
Isn’t that the truth, about the crowds..I have to admit you can sure get good shadows in the city.
Happy SSS
I love fence shadows, all those lucious lines
I like the pinkish hue to the sidewalk, so much nicer that cold gray concrete
Hi Paz,
it dosen`t seems NY streets, at least the one we hear about of the city that never sleep.
i’m sure right around the corner…there is hussle and bussle. great shot!!
This is terrific! The light is wonderful for one thing, but I love all the different sizes and shapes of the shadows. Great shot, Paz!! Hope you have a great week!

What a great shadow shot, Paz! I’m afraid that I have a very “Hollywood-ized” image of NYC, which includes sidewalks always filled with people. I love that I can learn that is “ain’t necessarily so” from you.
And I’m so glad you like my blog’s new look. I’m still working on it, but I’m happy with the results so far. It sure is different from the old template, isn’t it?
I hope you’re having a relaxing Sunday, my friend.

Love quiet neighborhoods in NY
Minus the anticipated bustle of NYC (to us who don’t live in the City expect), it is a quiet existence. The shadows and sun give a nice quality to the street, a small town look about it. Wide sidewalks and streets compel us outsiders to consider a city that isn’t all speed – I need to visit!
Well since I took this photo around noon, on a weekday, I’d guess that mostly everyone is at work.
Thanks for stopping by, everyone!

Hey…where’s all the snow…that’s not fair!
Well, there was at least one person on the street…..behind the camera

Hello dearie Paz,
Amazing that the street is so empty. Awesome to think. You have the sunshine now?
I thought you have still snow? Hmmm…
Lovely shot as usual, girl.
Cheers for a great day & week-ahead.

Is that chewing gum on the pavement? It’s a universal thing it seems!
