An unexpected encounter with the Shadow Muse!

I just had to go and grab my camera when I saw these strong contrast shadow patterns being cast/projected onto the tall multi-storey vertical wall one tropical winter’s June mid-afternoon.
Where? Behind my work place in Innisfail, Far North Queensland, Australia.

Building Information
Built between 2007-2009, this is Innisfail’s first Council approved (and last, so ‘the officials’ say) 6 multi-storey units building in a contemporary Art Deco style. It is positioned along the Innisfail Esplanade next to the Johnstone River.  It’s been reported that the building already has a small 5-6 degree angle lean, due to it’s proximity with the river bank that floods every wet season.

Then of course there is the whole psychological realm dealing with Shadow (psychology)
where the ground opens up to explore the shadow muse in the underworld!!! (Maybe best left for another time!)

 Thanks for visiting.

2010 Dec.01 - Stormy Evening Skylines, Art Deco - Innisfail, Far North Qld.

I’ve been learning about, while creatively playing around with, a recently acquired software program, Photoshop Elements 6, that came with equipment I recently purchased.
This is my first video slideshow 2010 Dec.01 – Stormy Skylines, Art Deco – Innisfail with ‘untouched’ photos taken on dusk in the town where I work. I’ve captured several of the Art-Deco buildings in Rankin St., set against some dramatic and distinct stormy weather pattern changes, being experienced in this year’s tropical wet seaon in Far North Queensland.  Photo shoot time was between 6.32pm - 7.06 pm.


The town finally does look beautiful ‘now’. It is because it’s taken four hard long years of building renovation and restoration work that’s been going on since we got ‘Larried’, ie. Cyclone Larry, a category 5/4, blew in back in early am. of 20th March 2006!  Prior to that there was little pride or recognition being taken of the enormous amount of actual Art Deco architecture in the town which originally came about after the town’s literal destruction back in 1918 by another devastating Cyclone.


Thanks to a few amazing perservering ladies in this town who formed the Art Deco in the Tropics, Innisfail Inc. society back in 2002, the scenario has completely changed and given the town ‘a new focus’!
