Village street, Lindos, Rhodes, Greece, 2011

Lindos is a small town of whitewashed buildings and narrow twisting streets on the Greek island of Rhodes. The historic Acropolis of Lindos, which features Greek and Roman ruins and a medieval castle, towers above it. Since I was unable to make the long and steep climb to the Acropolis, I stayed below and roamed the streets of the village instead. I found late afternoon light illuminating the textured walls running along narrow, cobblestone streets, and looked for a spot to use one of those walls diagonally within my frame. I found such a wall, and then waited for a passing person to make the scene come to life. As this man trudged past, I used his long shadow to echo the diagonal flow of both the wall and the street.

Thanks, Tim. He is not only walking into the light -- he is walking into late afternoon light, which provides the long shadow that follows along behind him.

A classic example of walking into the light.
