Reflections and shadows –  blue to turns green and pink picking up reflected colours from the water and the deck – which is pink in the shade but almost orange in full sun. The canal at the Hepworth Wakefield.

Pink flourescent lighting in the cafe at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead looked particularly good on the white beard.

Lindisfarne on a cold damp dull day – the local stone is defiantly pink on such a grey day

Straight railings casting their shadows on a rough stone wall.

Accidentally having the camera on the wrong setting caused camera shake during the long exposure but made an even more interesting image from this quilted copper-lined elevator in the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.

And these over-sized wooden blinds were marvellous, maybe I’m addicted to parallel lines.

On a photo course in Italy with Frui , given free access to photograph the interior of a grand old house in the Abruzzo,  I chose to concentrate on the juxtaposition of colour, the light was intense with deep shadows.

Just about to eat the last peice of orange melon, pink lipstick – perfect .

Sunlight

I am lucky enough to live in a house which is sunlit nearly all day, intensified by mirrors. I noticed this pot of daffodils was being lit from the “wrong” side, from the north, the sunlight was no longer falling on the table but was being reflected back onto the daffodils by a mirror. It gave the room a lovely sense of being lit up from inside.

Later, when the sun had moved round to the back of the house it was much weaker but still made some interesting shadows through the wooden slatted blind on the Spode “Velamour” vase.
