announcing the winners of the 25th guess the shadow contest!!

50% of the beneficiary rewards to this post go in support of #hive-179017!

** our marvelous meliorator Hive account@melinda010100 provides the normal prizes: 10 HIVE and 400 POINTS!!! please join me in lavishing copious thanks on her.**

a few years ago the city of larvik had these ugly small green plastic trash bins fastened to streetlight poles on many street corners. they have since been replaced with larger, better looking, more durable and functional bins but they never bothered to remove the mounting brackets for them. this had nothing to do with neglect, no, no. in fact it was an intentional element in beautification of the city due to the exquisite shadows they cast

anyway, as i was out on my weekly search for judges i happened upon a colorfully decorated camel who seemed to be beckoning me. i approached somewhat cautiously when to my amazement he pulled up a chair

-have a seat

-oh that is very thoughtful. thank you kindly

-i'm so bored. my boss isn't getting anybody to take a camel ride and i have to sit and do nothing until he finds some customer.

-how dull that must be. in the hot sun no less.

-oh the sun is no problem i am used to that. i just hate being so idle. i love racing.

-well, would you happen to know anything about shadows? i am looking for a judge for this week's shadow contest

-look no further, my man! when i was a calf i often amused myself by making funny shadows and i've seen plenty of intriguing ones on my many journeys so i'd be more than happy to be your judge.

-how fortunate for the both of us! let's get right to it then.

here are the prizes

3 HIVE each to
Hive account@fbpowers for: love the shadow guessing game! :) What can we come up with?
I don't like being so sinister but I see a evil traffic light that finally got what was coming to him. After messing with many commuters and causing problems on their daily drives, one commuter finally snapped and took matters into his own hands. So now the evil traffic light has been beaten mob style. This light is now barely hanging from the pole. The light will function again but he will never be the same.

Hive account@moretea for: Hi everybody, isn’t it obvious that this is that marsian robot on ski who crashed on a big pole after he got off the ski jump ramp in the wrong direction! Come on everybody, you must have seen one of the reports from the Tokyo Olympics Robot Ski Jump contests about this accident, it was all over the news. They checked the robot’s programming and found out that his AI fell in love with the ski lift and therefore was distracted by it while preparing for his jump and then crashed into one of it’s poles. 🖖🏼😎🤙🏼

2 HIVE to:
Hive account@nineclaws for: This is the Giant Global Universal Weathervane of such bane. It casts a shadow from pole to pole, with or without snow. As indicated in the illustration, there are two ramps that distribute weather separately. The ramp on the left is for good weather and is positioned towards the upper realms. The bad weather ramp points downwards towards the lower realms. Two sensors are attached on each side of the pole. They connect from the pole to each ramp below it, forming a complete circuit of weather detection and distribution. The holes in each censor are where the air flow is captured and sampled instantly by the sensor. Each sensor acts in harmony to sample the air flow, “tasting” it,, to determine what type of weather is generated, dispersed and where.

1 HIVE each to
Hive account@omaira74 for closest guess and a little more: Every day the shadows that are placed are more mysterious, but well here is my guess, it seems to me a beam with a kind of clasp to hold a fence, but it can also be the trocomobil of Fred Flintstones on the right side and on the left side is the entrance of a mysterious key to another episode of the world of shadows .jajaj. but eye could be anything.

Hive account@amigareaction for: In the age of total control surveillance cameras are everywhere. And they do cast a shadow. In this case probably 2 of them on a pole pointed at a slightly different angle on unconcerned civilians 😶😁

4 HIVE **venwood prize ** to
Hive account@moon-city for: A guy is about to walk down a ramp with a railing attached to the sides. There is a second ramp coming out of the left side (whoever was responsible for this set up) . A lot of safety violations have been made here with the most obvious one being the fact that the ramp is not touching ground level. The poor guy will be falling down...
A little diagram I made to make sense of this
