watching shadows

In summer, I had to buy myself a wide-brimmed hat and attach ribbons to it to make a knot under the chin so that the hat would stay in place while I was cycling. Then, my shadow looked very much like a 19th century lady.

Now, in rainy weather, my shadow has turned into a mix of an angel and a Nazgul - with the dark "hood" where my rain hat is and the transparent wings of the rain cloak fluttering behind my back.
