So it's around 9 in the morning and I'm hustling my bum to get ready for class. Luckily, I manage to grab breakfast (aka cereal) and wander off from the kitchen into the dining room with the spare 5 minutes I have. The curtain to the door that leads into the backyard is open, I look out into the backyard into a warm, bright, rising sun and continue munching on my cereal. I look back to check what time it is and notice an interesting assortment of shadows along the kitchen counter. At first intrigued by the display, I instantly realize what causes such a shadow. The shadow of the grided dining chair settles upon the kitchen stool that combines with the kitchen stool's shadow- both settling upon the counter (basically a combination of shadows from different objects). I found it intriguing how the two shadows mixed together to form one interesting shadow shape. It kind of reminded me of the Pilobolous Dance company that makes different shadow shapes using a bunch of people. There's no telling how those people make the things they do...all you really know is that it's human body parts (which I believe makes them so interesting...the mystery behind it all) . However, with the shadow I was witnessing in the dining room I knew the sources that produced them which made them less mysterious. Had I not known where they originated from, I think I would have been more interested in them.
