"October. Darkness reigns and spirits gather. Gone are the sunlit days of summer, and the heart turns strange and melancholy. Welcome to Shadowland.
The theme is open-ended, so go with whatever your imagination can conjure. Photograph actual shadows, perhaps; capture the mood in a striking portrait or landscape, or even - if you dare- catch a ghost. This would be a great time to try working in black and white or to experiment with editing and effects. After all, it's Shadowland. Anything could happen."

I love the shell - the light on the sand is magical. Love the header too, is it new?
I love photos that feature shadows and this is a fantastic set!
Hi Janet
You have put together some striking photos! I am especially impressed with the "werewolf' photo. :) Very good interpretation of the challenge.
Always, Carly
Ohh I love the last two but that is no werewolf shadow - that is a weremax shadow. Spooky dog that he is those ears give him away!
Cool pix! You've got a good eye!
Mine's up too :)
Fantastic photos, Janet! A bit spooky, some of them, too -- perfect for the theme!
Ooh, lots of cool stuff here. I love the shadow on the grave marker, and the chapel or church as seen from above, and the pattern of branches on the orange background. Well done indeed!
Incredible! Love them all...especially the shell and the grave.
Well done!

These are very nice. Hard to choose just one. The Poppet Shadows make me smile.
Now I am really scared, lol ! Beautiful pictures you made there !
What a beautiful group of photos! I especially like the church one. It seems peaceful and calm with the shadows, a great place for contemplation.
I do love the werewolf :) -- Jacob perhaps :)
Robin: Thanks :-) The header's been up for a few months or so, I believe!
debr: Thank you! There's something about shadows that has always fascinated me.
mks: Weremax LOL! True!

Sue: Good one! I do like Jacob!
wonderful job on this theme. loved them all.
I came looking for the current challenge, but I'm glad I saw these first. I love what you did! I'm adding you to my bloglines, for sure. Nice work!
I found you by way of Robyn (just sayin) I like your photos the one of the grave stone -I like the way you captured the angle of light.
I adore these...the shell and the terrifying little poppets and the werewolf/max....
