Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #151: From Large to Small

Mei-Mei17 Comments

What a unique challenge we have this week. Patti asks us to pick a color, then “start with a photo of a big subject in that color….and move all the way down to a small subject in that same color.” I’m going with my favorite color, blue!

Large

St. Augustine, FL

Water meeting sky gives a sense that the whole world is blue! It is such a calming color, is there any surprise that the people in these pictures are all gazing to the horizon? It’s just natural.

Washington Oaks State Park, FL

Sometimes a pop of blue can come up in unexpected places.

Franklin Park Conservatory, Columbus, OH
Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort, Orlando, FL

Small

There are not that many blue flowers around here, so I have to appreciate them when I find them!

You can find more colors from large to small at the original Lens-Artist challenge.

Lens-Artists Challenge #149 – Cool Colors – Blue and Green

When I think of green, I think of Ireland, of course.

Nearly every picture I took there has green and blue: green grass, blue sea and sky. There is such a vibrancy to the land!

Even the post boxes are green

Old and New

One of the my favorite things about Rome was the constant juxtaposition of things modern and ancient…and plenty of things in between!  There is so much history in this city, but it is living history.  Imagine seeing these buildings on your commute every day!

Borrowed and Blue

Like many European cities, Dublin has bikes widely available for rental.  I loved seeing the long rows of them, broken only when someone had borrowed one.  The ads on the bikes are for Coke Zero (is that as popular in Europe as here?), but the Dublin Bikes logo is in blue.
