A lamp casts a shadow across a textured wall, Salzburg, Austria

This is another take on the ubiquitous Salzburg lamps found attached to the walls of many buildings. In the afternoon the light passes right across the textured surface of this wall, producing shadow that is much longer than the lamp itself.

I don’t know what the actual story is regarding these lamps, but once I recognized them I started seeing them all over the place around Salzburg, attached to the walls of various buildings  and braced by a pair of curving metal pieces. In many places their locations seemed almost haphazard to me.
