Early morning light (or late afternoon light, if that's your specialty) reveals things you won't see at midday. Shadows. If you're lucky, the shadows will be clear and crisp, as they were yesterday morning and again today. Saw this in a neighbor's driveway. The shadows are more interesting than the objects themselves.
Sometimes the light is filtered through the trees at such an angle that it illuminates only selected objects. It's a sort of spotlight. This little playground I saw on the same walk is an example. It looks like a tiny castle suddenly visible in the woods. five minutes later the light had moved on.
And on the street in front of my house, someone has painted an asterisk. The shadow is my own. It could be a portent, but of what?
Perhaps I should tell you—we have tickets to see Die Frau Ohne Schatten later this month. That will either make things clearer—or not.
