Colours of the Rainbow - Thematic Photography

This is a difficult theme at this time of year. I almost gave up, but thought I could stretch it a bit to show some different hues just by looking out of my office window,

That cobweb is outside

How many colours of the rainbow appear here? Go on! Use your imagination for testing out - Richard of York gave battle in vain.

Sky - Thematic Photography

Having waited all week to have a sky worth photographing I've given up and gone back to shots from my archives.

Traverse City, Michigan - 22 July 2007 

From a shot exactly eight years ago to one slightly earlier in Cornwall.

Readymoney Cove, Fowey - May 2007

The elevated house in the centre of the picture was then the home of Dawn French and Lennie Henry. The house obscured by the rock on the right of the beach was occupied by author Daphne du Maurier in 1943.

I shown shots of Stockton's Infinity Bridge before where the sky has enhanced the photo significantly. Here's another one.

Finally one taken from our front garden.

Can you see the second rainbow?

Flashes of Colour - Thematic Photography

I found a series of photos in my archives that fit Carmi's flash of colour theme.

The Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge celebrated its centenary in October, but it  was the hoarding in this photo that caught my eye.

But somehow we cannot match nature's flashes.

End on to a Rainbow in October

In these days of e-mail it's a pleasure to see a decorated mailbox like this one I passed in Michigan.

Then on a Tunisian beach I snapped this beauty, not so sure she was committed to that parachute ride behind a speed boat.

Finally it was a hotel in Germany that might have been called the Red Lion.
