Yellow and Grey

Forty Shades of Green?

What is YOUR favourite colour?

The lugubrious dank foliage matched with a grey sky
that has greeted us for months has it's joyful moments...
mostly spent indoors working on photos taken in haste
between showers.

Work Beckons...

but frankly I'm not in much of a mood to
answer the call.

Looking at the colour palette of many of my photos for the past
few months, I wonder about the effect our dark Northern Monsoon Climate
is having on the collective psyche.

I used hate the colour orange, but now with looming grey skies the norm,
it's getting worked into my top choice whenever possible.

The challenge set to work solidly for two terms on new aspects
of photography and blogging could not seem less appealing at
the moment.

Much more of "Irish" weather and hibernation will be the only option.

Talks of "Recession", while distant still may send some photographers
off to find visual metaphors for a general malaise?
I have no intention of joining them...

dramatic range.
