Shadowy Images in Puerto Vallarta
Most of us at some time in our youth or childhood have experienced that “ah-ha” moment that follows the successful creation of a shadow puppet or silhouette image. We position the lamp just right to cast a shadow and work the image – a flying bat, Grandpa’s impressive beak, the voluptuous curves of our heart’s desire (that ’57 Chevy was a beauty). Heck, you may find you can create some bizarre and fantastic creatures in the soft glow of the hot tub at your Mexico vacation villa rental .And you can appreciate the fleeting results of this art form all over Puerto Vallarta. The fact that the resort city sits on the shores of Banderas Bay can only be newsworthy to those who arrived in town with their eyes tightly shut in the middle of a totally dark night. What may be less apparent, at least until the sun sets behind the bay and the sky becomes an awesome Impressionistic palette of red and pink and orange, is the city’s impressive gallery of naturally-occurring silhouettes.
You can prove this to yourself when you step onto the balcony of your Mexico vacation villa rental and look in a generally westerly direction.
They’re everywhere . . .
The remaining light from the sun creates a colorful backdrop for silhouette hunters. Depending on where you’re situated in the evening, you’re likely to see all manner of beautiful images. For instance, if you’re near the Malecón at sunset, see if you can’t walk yourself into a place that reveals the interesting shadow images of the boardwalk’s sculpture collection.
Fully exposed in the bright light of day, these pieces are beautiful; at dusk, they become almost otherworldly. Palm trees are another wonderful silhouette subject. There’s a bit of a yin and yang element to this image: during the daytime, find a palm that’s casting a pleasant shadow on the sand and cool off in the shade; in the twilight, appreciate the tree’s dramatic image against the warm colors of the evening sky. Two shadowy images with totally different applications.
Banderas Bay is teeming with floating, drifting and sailing things that can provide boatloads of beautiful visions if you pay attention. Take the pirate ship, for instance. During the day, it’s a party barge like none other; as the sun sets, it loses its face; all that remains is an image of tall sails and hull, making you wonder if they’re friend or foe.
