Flying saucer

This vintage light has always reminded me of a flying saucer. I've been trying to catch a shadow for months, and finally spotted one the other evening.

A dark shadow shot...



“There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.”

Even in dim light there are shadows! And this shadow is beautifully haunting!

Looks like 2 shadows captured huh? One on the ceiling & another to the right on the wall. Cool!
