Beyond A Shadow Of Doubt

No, It's Not Really Swede Revenge

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


It might look like some patriotic Swedish gesture, but it's just a wall in South Melbourne. The blue-and-yellow pattern caught my eye about ten days ago. As I pulled over and got out of the car to take this photograph, I noticed the contrast of the shadow across the striking blue of the wall. It also struck me as being unusual that the shadow was so strongly diagonal. The strong colours, the effect of the shadow, and the pattern of the checked netting across the wall just drew me straight in. Just a simple sight, but I reckon it made a photograph with a difference.
