Shadows within a covered bridge

The interior of this old covered bridge is totally within shadow.Just within the entrance of this covered bridge a pattern of light can be seen on the hardwood flooring of the bridge.

The souce of light creating the pattern on the bridge floor is from the spaces between the boards at the end of the bridge's construction.

My appreciative thanks to Tracey, at Hey Harriet, the host of Shadow Shot Sunday for this interesting idea; for more information on this shadow meme,please click on the icon in the side bar
