This week’s Weekly Photo Challenge
“silhouette”
it can be said that a silhouette is a shadow of contents
shades are empty, but that silhouettes don’t necessarily be.
Usually understood silhouettes created by light and backlight
but indirectly there are many kinds of silhouettes
road signs, advertising signs and urban signs
is actually silhouettes of what they must signal
Silhouettes shall or want to remind us of something.
Maybe it’s so that tombstones, memorial pillars, statues and other symbols of that kind are silhouettes of what we need to remember or know – the Statue of Liberty at the entrance to “The Big Apple”, it’s probably one of the biggest silhouettes (remembrance) of our freedom
A silhouette is perhaps a “primitive” mirror to reality – there pasted black silhouettes of birds of prey on large window surfaces to scare birds from bumping into the glass surfaces – many silhouettes are so on top of that beautiful – it’s an extra bonus effect.
…..
Most pictograms are nothing more than silhouettes
everyone knows that here probably comes a bus
(the bus stop is tilted, it’s not the photo which is)
…..
I like what you say here.

This is a very interesting point of view, Drake 🙂 You did cemetary for “silhouette”, and I almost did it for “city” :D. It is very refreshing to read you. Have a great week my friend!

Thanks, really appreciate your comment.. 🙂
Have always had in my mind that silhouettes were a kind of mirror remembering us about something we for a reason or two must not forget… 😉
😀 Interesting 🙂
We all remember the silhouette of an icecream… ‘hahaha’

Love this quote : “…Silhouettes shall or want to remind us of something…”
*think cemetary.. 🙂 *

I’m happy that you like that quote, it’s home made – but that’s the truth in my eyes and the way I believe – silhouettes telling stories and our own most of all – silhouettes activate our memory and sometimes our imagination too… 🙂
You have a different approach to the solouette theme, Drake, I especially like the buss stop. 😉
#.bente haarstad
Yes, silhouettes are our guidelines – bus stop, toilet, telephone, ferries, air ports, hostels and and and – how could we ever be able to find these places without silhouettes as guidelines… ‘smile’
Very thought-provoking. Great post, Drake! 🙂

Thanks Richard, really appreciates… 😉
Humm…I never did really think of what a silhouette truly represents. It is true, it gives us a framework with which to work with.

#.soma mukherjee
Thanks you sweet one, really appreciates… 🙂
Yes I’m really think that tombstones are reminding silhouettes, make us remember our past – all silhouettes are in fact remembering us about something… 🙂
