What Lurks In The Shadows?

Last night the shadows lurked menacingly around every corner and each creak and moan the house made was shrouded with an eerie quality.

Drifting off into the realms of sleep I'd find myself jolted awake just moments later, senses heightened, sensing a presence.

 

Lying in the the darkness, I'd listen intently . . . . searching for a sound, something that seemed out of place.  Turning on the bedside light I'd find my fears unfounded, yet unable to shake the ominous feeling that had settled over me, a fitful night of sleep ensued.

Why is it that shadows can be welcome friends during the day yet bring a sense of foreboding at night?

  2. I don't know if this image came out of the experience or was separate from it... but it's powerful.

  3. Thanks Erin.

    I wanted to create a photo that matched the emotions I was feeling so I combined two photos and a texture to create this image. It was my first real go at using the layers feature in photoshop elements.
