#photoadayapril 4/7/2012 – shadows (of the past)
by Tara Jo •
the prompt from today’s photo challenge was shadows, i dug through some pictures and even wandered outside a bit trying to find the picture i wanted capture, and then when i was looking through some other non shadow pictures, i stumbled up on this one. i can remember when this was a functioning gate that…
