Friday My Town Shoot Out - Silhouettes

I hoped that by looking up the literal meaning of the word I might find an easy way to approach this week's theme - silhouettes - but that just confounded the issue. However, it gave me some satisfaction to learn that Mr Etienne de Silhouette's time in the spotlight was brief and the lending of his name to the word is, in fact, satirical. It is a little ironic that a few of today's shots would have been binned if I'd got around to it, they weren't what I intended them to be when I took them.

Thanks for the challenge, Cindy. For me that was a real challenge.

These last two are dodgy choices, not sure if they fit the category.
