Nostalgia for summer not quite gone

I took this photo yesterday afternoon during my end-of-the-day walk. I love shadows. I think they give images not only depth but mystery. This is a shot of an alley beside a Chinese restaurant. The front of the restaurant is painted gold and red with plaster dragons and faux pillars.
 
Days are crystal-clear and cool, suggestive of fall that technically is not here yet. Already I feel nostalgia for summer even as it dwindles into fall. Nostalgia is okay. Any feeling is better than no feeling at all. Feelings help me identify images to composite and shoot. Isn't creativity largely feeling?
