CAFE CHALLENGE #8 - SUBMISSION THREAD

Submission: The Crossroad of Light and Shadow

This is another in my series of photos capturing this fascinating art object called an "Orb". At different times of the day, the colors and shadows the "orb" produces are a marvel to behold. Today was no exception so I have selected this image entitled, "Crossroad of Light and Shadow" as my entry for Challenge #8. Thanks, Michael, for this great new topic and challenge!
