Shadows everywhere

So with the photos I've been taking I've been thinking about shadows. What they mean, what they can represent and how they create abstract forms within  my photos. The definition of a shadow is: an area where direct light from a light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object. It occupies all of the space behind an opaque object with light in front of it. The cross section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or reverse projection of the object blocking the light. Sunlight causes many objects to have shadows at certain times of the day. The angle of the sun, its apparent height in the sky causes a change in the length of shadows. Low-angles create longer shadows.
