Shadow Play

Exactly once a year, when we approach the summer solstice, and the position of the sun in the sky at midday lines up exactly with the windscreen of a luxury car parked in a reserved spot outside the office window, sunlight is focused into a beam that illuminates our room, and casts enormous shadows on the far wall.

Someone forgot to comb their hair today

This is spectacular enough, but even more fantastic is that occasionally silhouettes of people who are not present appear. One year ago we were shocked to see the outline of a young lady with amazingly fluffy hair. She appeared with a watering-can and spent a long time tending to the shadow tree.

And three years ago, we saw another young lady's shadow throwing pop-pops at the wall with audible effect.
