Exited Invercargill library to find a feast of colour over the road! Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand. Taken byNigel 22 Aug 2020. Click on photo to enlarge
I don’t often make images of man-made or influenced subjects but that would be hard to pass up. So colorful and a nice composition to boot, Liz and Nigel.
I really like your “feast of colour” that has an abstract feel to it, in part, I think, because of the abundance of straight lines and geometric shapes and the presence of primarily primary colors.
ps. it was after midnight when I initially replied to you and this morning I read your comment aloud to Nigel and laughed when I got to the “presence of primarily primary colors” bit haha,,, I like that! The shapes, lines and colours *are* really interesting and just now we were talking about how most elements *have* to be where they are *but* we were lucky with the positioning of the crane gantry!
You know me well enough, Liz, to tell that the repetition of the word primary was intentional. Watercolor has caused me to think a lot more about color theory and color mixing, including the use of primary colors.
Indeed I do know you well enough but last night I was sleepy and the wordplay had more effect this morning and amused me very much! In fact, just now I read it again and in my imagination ‘primarily’ became ‘pri-merrily’ and I was thinking of the little rhyme/song of “Row, row, row your boat…” and it was a wonderfully light-hearted moment (thankfully disrupting far more serious thinking). I’m grateful for the fun alliterative wordplay which lightened and brightened my morning 🙂

Ha! Yes. I’m an interested spectator Kay. Strange place Invercargill. It seems to be in a constant state of upheaval.

Great photo, the yellow on the crane and the fence make a strong composition, very eye catching.

It was amazing to walk out to this ready-made composition which literally stopped both of us in our tracks! Thank you Steve 🙂

Nice shot, Liz, a good bold scene. I agree with Mike, all the straight lines do give it a kind of abstract feel.

Thanks so much Robert, I think *bold* is a very good word to describe this scene – a scene which took us very much by surprise!

We walked out of the library together and stood on the footpath gazing up at the scene, it seemed so striking!
