Stripes at Palos Verdes Main Library
The shadows on the library wall is one of the favorite subjects with the Palos Verdes photographers. See also: Daily photo from Rancho Palos Verdes
One can see why! The clarity of shadow is quite astounding. It reminds me of paintings from the 60s. The eye gets disturbed looking at this image and trying to work out what is beam and what is shadow.
Your photo has the effect of an illustration, perhaps from an architect's pitch for a building of the future. Perhaps from back in the 60s, as Julie says.
The first think I thought was that it has the feel of an Edward Hopper painting, such precise angles with the shadow and light. That's one for the wall, Tash.

That's a great shot Tash! I can see why it's a favorite.
This is a geometrical delight...
Clear cut shadows on bold clear colours. I would want to photograph this many times too.
I love this. The colors. The structure. Very nice.
Great composition here.
A great abstract :)
I love abstract shots like this. Very good.
Love the pattern these shadows make. Great photo.
I would love to play with them too!!!
