I lover this double shadow of the same object..Once on the wall so it looks like she is carrying the frame, the other on the frame itself which shows the head and hand of the sculpture hanging between the camera and wall.

The epicenter of the October 2022 earthquake was on the coast of Mexico, but it caused big jerks here. I was in the car and thought it was a really strong wind buffeting the car back and forth. Then I saw the telephone poles swaying and people streaming from the stores into the street. There was one quake of just a minute or two followed by another. There wasn’t any damage that I could see, except when I got home I noticed cracks in my house and entry arch that over the months got wider and wider until at last my door to the street wouldn’t latch at all as the cracks above it had widened so much. Cracks in my house appeared from front to back door in my entry hall which is really the juncture of the two wings of my L shaped house and when my friend Agustin inspected the house he determined that the two wings of the house had never really been joined by metal joists but just by concrete All major repairs were finally completed, although smaller cracks are on my “to do” list.The two statues in the first photo were not broken by the earthquake, but rather by my cats who knocked them off their pedestals. luckily, they remained intact from the waist down and so have been converted into planters.
For Becky’s Square Challenge
the prompt words are:
I had to dig way back for these photos taken during a driving tour of Great Britain that I took my mother on in 1984 or 85. These shots were taken on the way to Beatrix Potter’s house. Idyllic countryside.
For Becky of Winchester’s Pastsquares Challenge we are to pick a square photo we’ve published in one of her past challenges. Above are two of mine. I couldn’t decide which to use and their colors, if not their subjects, match so well!
