Perhaps it's a matter of perspective.

Vantage point.


For instance last week while I was at the beach house, my friends and I were standing on the deck after it had gotten dark.

The light behind us was casting our shadows in front of us, onto the fog a few feet away.

I noted how dark my shadow appeared compared to theirs, which were very light.

So I decided to make mention of it.

JB then said how from his perspective, HIS shadow was the dark one, while ours were light.

I realized then that shadow is merely based on perspective.
