Only the shadow knows....

Today, we had the hangar door cracked open slightly since it was such a bright, gorgeous, sunny day. About mid afternoon, I noticed a neat shadow being cast onto the wall.

It doesn't show up well in pictures, but it was a cool effect to see in person.
The canopy silhouette is instantly recognizable, no doubt about that!

I hope you get the ideas though the pictures. I guess it was the proverbial, "you just had to be there" situation. :lol:

When we saw the shadows, we all commented how cool it looked.

I need that shear y'all have against the wall there, below the shadows. ;-)

Looks like the old girls soul waiting to be re kindled as soon as you are finished-
Pretty cool accident

Very cool! Sometimes silhouettes and shadows can be an art form unto themselves! Like this life sized B-17 sculpture...pretty sure I've seen it here before, but it is cool!
