Mellow Yellows
"How lovely yellow is."
Vincent Van Gogh
This week Egidio has given us a chance to enjoy some warm colors - a perfect opportunity to leave behind the less vibrant shades of winter. I chose to open with a collage of beautifully warm yellow flowers. Somehow their fresh colors are enough to brighten even the dreariest of winter days.
Sensational Sunlight, South Carolina
"Colors are the smiles of nature."
Leigh Hunt
As I put together the collages both above and below I found myself thinking any of the images could represent either sunrise or sunset. Can you guess which are which? Keep reading and I'll share the answers.
The Warmth of Alaskan Sun
"May every sunrise hold more promise and every sunset hold more peace."
Umair Siddiqui
In the first triptych, all of the images are from favorite places here in Lowcountry South Carolina. L-Kiawah Island sunset, C-Sunrise during a boat trip to nearby Crab Bank Seabird Sanctuary, R-Sunset on the Stono River. In the second triptych just above, all images are from our small-boat cruise through the Inside Passage of Alaska. Top L-Whale fin at Sunset, C bottom-Sunrise while cruising, Top R-Midday sun while passing a dense forest from the ship. Did you guess correctly?!
Nightlights
"However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light."
Stanley Kubrick
I've closed today's post with a triptych of artificial lights, offering their own colorful warmth. From the memorial candles on the left, to the Seattle streetlights in the middle, and finishing with the little lanterns from Scottsdale on the right, each represents humankind's attempts to warm the chill of night with shining lights.
We thank Egidio for the opportunity to generate our own warmth with his challenge this week. Please be sure to link your response to his beautiful post here, and to use the Lens-Artists Tag to help us find you. Thanks also to Sofia for last week's Day and Night challenge, and to all those who responded with your own wonderful interpretations. Finally, we hope you'll join us next week when Anne leads us on her Slow Shutter Speed site. Until then, as always please stay safe, be kind and enjoy the journey.
