While on my annual fall photo excursion through the Adirondacks and Vermont, I stopped at the Toscano Cafe/Bistro in Richmond, Vermont. When I first sat at this table, clouds obscured the sun and the scene was very flat. In short order the clouds cleared and presented me with this very interesting scene. I quickly rearranged the glass and the flowers to separate the cast shadows and had a series of photos in the can before lunch arrived.
