I came across these shadows on a cliff wall hiking the other day in Yosemite. Seeing them made me wonder – like the Platonic description of the life being flickering shadows on a cave wall – if all we are seeing are shadows (compared with the real thing).
Is the photo showing a shadow? Do the shapes make a glyph? Is the shadow more real than the tree that made it?
