MARCH 2020 THIS week's PICTURE

UVA from another angle: photo by Malcolm Aslett

I call it UVA from another angle because the main choices are usually to take head on or on the other side with the face pointing to the right. Rather as if we were writing a letter. Assuming it wasn't in Hebrew or Arabic. I wonder if there is a difference in preference for left handers?

This one has passages of continuity and discontinuity. The section to the left has a mostly uninterupted view of the path and pavillion. Things start breaking up when we get to the pillars. I do like to mess with those pillars.

How blue is a blue sky? When the camera takes a picture of a piece of sky nowadays it seems to love the blue. Back in the day of film cameras those skies could be quite different. The iphones do a beautiful blue. It can't be just optics. Did some techy person decide that skies were going to be special and important to the wellbeing of phone users ("A blue sky always cheers me up. If only they looked like the sky in Barbados every day. As if every day was a vacation day!" said Jerald the techy guy working seven days a week in a laboratory in Silicon Valley forty feet below the surface of the earth in a room with no windows and a broken coffee machine). I just wonder, is all.

Below is another pillar shot from the shaded side of the street. I love pillars. Can you imagine the amount of care and attention these things have received over the years?
